LSF Curriculum

Leadership Santa Fe is a year-long program, consisting of an opening retreat (Friday and Saturday) and eight Thursdays (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) on different topics, spaced throughout the year. These program days introduce you to a wide range of Santa Fe's community leaders and issues important to our community. Between program days, you have the opportunity to take on new projects in the community and/or revisit projects that you are currently working on with new resources and skills.

The 2008 program is being developed by both participants and the Program Committee throughout the year - here is a sample of the topics and speakers in 2007:
