Leadership Columbus was designed to expose people to the opportunities, problems and resources available in the Columbus Community. Whether new to the area or a life-long resident of Columbus, the class has something to offer anyone willing to put forth the time and effort needed to become involved and make a difference in Columbus.

Class members will learn about different organizations, be exposed to the problems that face our community and have the opportunity to brain storm on how to make a difference. There are 9 days of learning, sharing and meeting new business contacts.

Tuition for 2023-24 is $550.
