The Center for Rural Affairs has announced a new program to promote rural leadership. The announcement was made in conjunction with The University of Nebraska Omaha. It’s called the Virtual Leader Development Program. The initiative hopes to attract those in rural Nebraska who are relatively new to leadership experiences in their work.
The development program focuses on five skills associated with leadership. The University of Nebraska is conducting meetings through Google Hangouts for groups of leaders to discuss different case stories related to these various skills. Participants can join the program at any time between now and April.
The curriculum takes about three hours per month for six months. For more information, contact the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Rural Futures Institute, or Nebraska Extension.
