Leadership Polk is a community leadership program designed to engage and connect community leaders from across Polk County.

Leadership Polk will build the awareness of executive, government, and community leaders from across Polk County regarding regional issues and initiatives as well as help to develop visionary approaches and collaborative behavior in graduates who occupy or will assume leadership roles in organizations within Polk County.

This intensive program runs from August through May each year. Each session examines some of the key themes and issues surrounding our County and the municipalities within the County.

In choosing participants, the Leadership Polk Advisory Committee identified candidates who have demonstrated commitment to the community through past activities and who possess a wide variety of skills and interests. The members of the inaugural class come from Polk County companies big and small as well as government and non-profit organizations.
