  From their web site (https://www.gwblcf.org/leadershiptomorrow):
  Leadership Tomorrow prepares, engages, and challenges current and emerging leaders through a 10-month long program combining leadership skills and community awareness. Participants connect deeply with each other, develop practical leadership skills, explore community leadership roles, learn about the needs, opportunities, and challenges facing our community, and meet and engage directly with leaders of the organizations working to address them. The outcome is increased leadership ability and passion and an increase in overall capacity to make our community the great place it is to live and work. Leadership Tomorrow is a community-based program preparing leaders to impact our community, become part of a team, and grow their leadership awareness and influence.
