WHAT IS CADILLAC LEADERSHIP?
Cadillac Leadership is a nine-month program that meets once a month October through May. In addition, there is a two day, overnight opening retreat in September. Each of these days is designed to network with other emerging leaders in the area and leadership groups to form strong bonds with one another.
Participants must be committed to attending the retreat and each of the monthly leadership days where we get to know area business leaders and organizations, understand how they impact our community, and to focus on servant leadership.
Mission
To provide an engaging atmosphere for the development of emerging leaders with opportunities for identifying and investing their skills and passions to benefit the Cadillac community while creating lasting relationships.
