Leadership Stillwater
A community leadership development program
 Twenty-five years ago, a handful of Stillwater leaders saw an idea come to life with the inception of Leadership Stillwater. Since that first class in January of 1984, over 400 people have participated in Leadership Stillwater.
“Our community needs strong leadership to make Stillwater a better place to work and live,” says Harold Sare, who was the Curriculum Chair for that initial Leadership Stillwater class.
Sare noted that the purpose of Leadership Stillwater is virtually unchanged from twenty years ago — to identify potential and emerging leaders and prepare them for positions of community involvement and civic leadership. Graduates of the program serve on volunteer boards and committees that touch every aspect of the Stillwater community.
“It’s great to see that our alumni have done what we intended and gone on to take leadership roles in the community,” Sare added.
To prepare them for leadership roles, participants undergo more than 60 hours of classroom-style training. This year’s program consists of two all-day sessions and eleven evening sessions covering various areas such as community and human services, Stillwater’s economy, education, city government and leadership skills development.
Program resources include civic leaders, government officials, educators and experts from a variety of fields. Leadership Stillwater is a program of the Stillwater Foundation for Progress, an educational affiliate of the Stillwater Chamber of Commerce.
