Oakland County, September 21, 2016 – Leadership Oakland announces its LOXXVII Cornerstone Class made up of 52 regional leaders. The Cornerstone program is a nine-month program consisting of a two-day retreat and monthly educational sessions. The monthly sessions delve into the issues facing the region – from education, government and the justice system to health and human services and race and ethnic diversity. The sessions are led by experts in each of these areas.
Executive Director, Nancy Maurer commented, “The wealth of talented leadership in this area is impressive. Each year, Leadership Oakland attracts dozens of leaders committed to their individual growth and to being a catalyst for regional success. Leadership Oakland is where leaders go to form a strong bond as a class, gain access to a rich network of experts and people of influence, and to be exposed to the treasures and challenges facing our region, state and county.”
This year’s class represents leaders from 30 cities across the county and SE Michigan. They represent corporate, civic and non-profit organizations throughout the community. For more information about the Cornerstone Program and the current class, visit our website at LeadershipOakland.com.
