Metro north leadership-development program forms

WESTMINSTER — The Adams County Regional Economic Partnership has added a new program designed to develop leaders in Adams County and the metropolitan region served by the agency.

The economic-development agency is partnering with Broomfield’s Leadership Science Institute to provide leadership training and skills development.

LEAD (Learn Elevate Achieve Develop) Metro North will be an 11-month professional-development, business/community engagement, and immersion program. Participants will learn about leadership, Adams County industries and the metro north economy.

“The LEAD program is a unique program that offers leaders from our local businesses an opportunity to learn more about themselves and develop their leadership skills by connecting with other accomplished leaders in our community,” Ellen Duran, community relations manager for North Suburban Medical Center and chair of the Leadership Advisory Board, said in a written statement.

“LEAD participants visit successful industry sectors in Adams County to learn best practices and gain insight into how each of these industries contributes to the success of our area. Each participant will build relationships that will benefit them in their career and will last a lifetime,” she said.

The economic-development agency is looking for a diverse class of 25 to 30 people for 2021-2022. Information about tuition rates and how to apply can be found at the LEAD Metro North page of the agency’s website. Applications are due by 5 p.m., June 30. First meeting will be Aug. 26.
