OVERVIEW
Leadership Cayman (LC) is a dynamic, intensive, interactive,
six-month experience designed to promote and enhance community
leadership through an in-depth introduction to social, economic,
business and political issues in the Cayman Islands.
LC class members interact with diverse, high-level community
leaders and decision-makers by organising and attending a series
of seminars and retreats in fields ranging from business, government,
education, media, social services, criminal justice, diversity,
the arts and more. Through these interactions, members learn
about their personal leadership styles, nourish their community
spirit and gain invaluable understanding of how our community
works.
The bonds forged among the members of each LC class are deep
and long lasting, offering both personal and professional
benefits. Whether you are new to the islands or just want to
learn more about the important issues facing the community in
which you live, LC is an excellent investment of your time and
talents.

results for the charity while strengthening their own commitment
to community service.

alumni association. The goal of the alumni association is continued
networking as well as keeping members informed and involved
on issues affecting our community. |
