Last year's Leadership Kerrville class was mostly women and had some amazing leaders. This year, the Chili Cook Off is changing hands and there may be some shuffling of the days. The application has been updated to ask different questions and dig deeper into why people want to participate. However, the leadership, committee, and basic structure of the class remain unchanged. Participants in the program will learn about the community and its ins and outs. There are 8 days in the program: Education Day, Local Government Day, Trip to Austin, Government Day, Economic Day, Tourism and Travel Day, Nonprofit Day, and Retreat. Retreat is a great opportunity for team building activities and breaking down guards and is held at Mo Ranch and takes place in the third week of September. Remember the deadline for application is August 1.    Resources Andrew Gay on LinkedIn Tom Fox on LinkedIn Leadership Kerr County-Information and Registration
