Why I'm Excited to be Part of ILA!

Hello!  I wanted to share my excitement at becoming a member of the ILA Board of Directors in August.  During my years as an ILA  member I attended several seminars.  The most recent, Suzanne Morse, Smart Communities: How Citizens and Local Leaders Can Use Strategic Thinking to Build  a Brighter Future  seminar at Franklin College.  I was so inspired I purchased the book and presented a copy to our Mayor in Greencastle.

The opportunity to join the board of an organization with the mission of reaching  "...Indiana communities and Indiana people." to improve best practices in leadership was inspiring.  The regional initative to reach all Indiana communities and the new grant opportunities for leadership collaborations bring action to the strategies of ILA.  They also are my goals to build the next generation of Indiana leaders in Indiana communities.

I encourage you to become involved with ILA, the board, and the regional initatives in 2010!
