Leadership Oakland selects 55 regional leaders for their new Cornerstone Class – LOXXVI

Oakland County, October 20, 2015 – Leadership Oakland announces its 2015 LOXXVI Cornerstone Class made up of 55 regional leaders. The Cornerstone program is a year long program consisting of a two day retreat and monthly educational sessions. People are nominated for the program and selections are finalized by July. Participants form a strong bond as a class, gain access to a rich network of experts and people of influence, and are exposed to the treasures and challenges facing our region, state and county.

Executive Director, Chris Scharrer commented, “Each year we believe we can’t possibly find a group of individuals that can top the previous year’s class and each year we are surprised and delighted to be wrong.  The class this year represents some of the finest leadership talent in the region and the energy they exhibit promises great things to come.”

This year’s class represents leaders from 36 cities across the county and SE Michigan. They represent corporate, civic and non-profit organizations throughout the community. Their monthly sessions will 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 arenas. For more information about the Cornerstone Program and the current class, visit our website at LeadershipOakland.com.
