The next phase of our Horizons program, Leadership Plenty, started January 31st. You are invited to join us now in this interesting opportunity! The name was chosen in recognition of the “plenty” of talents we have among us!
LeadershipPlenty is nationally recognized as one of the best leadership programs. You can find information about the knowledge and skills one learns, as well as research documenting the effectiveness of the training in community development work on the web site: http://www.pew-partnership.org/lpinstitute.html
It is very exciting to have this opportunity in Lyle and there is still time to join the class. The skills we learn can be applied in many situations at work and communities, both large and small. They can be applied to organizing community events (large or small), facilitating meetings or being an effective participant in one, or helping the community or a group identify problems and effective solutions. Completion of Leadership Plenty can be listed on a resume to enhance to one’s employment credentials.
Some people have expressed concern that taking this training means you will be a “leader” in the Horizons program. That is not a requirement. Leadership and all participation are voluntary. This training helps us be more effective participants as well as leaders. We all have knowledge and talents that can strengthen our community. The classes help us bond with other community members as well.
The next four classes will be held every other Saturday at the United Methodist Church on 4th and Klickitat Streets at 9:00 AM. Specific dates are: Feb. 14, Feb 28, March 14, March 28.
Lunch and snacks are provided.
If you are interested in joining us in taking the LeadershipPlenty training, please contact Barbara Sexton at 541 993-5374 or madison@gorge.net.

LeadershipPlenty has been a great experience so far. It might help me to listen to others before interupting people. I think you can only enhance your personal skills through this program. It's a great way to know your fellow Lyle resident's also.
