LAMC -
"The Leadership Experience"
Originally sponsored by Anderson University and the Madison County Chamber, Leadership Academy of Madison County is an educational program designed to offer a probing study of community challenges and to explore methods of meeting those challenges through the discovery and practice of 21st-century leadership skills.
Leadership Academy is committed to providing Madison County with a diverse, highly skilled and competent core of community servant leaders.
The purpose of the Leadership Academy of Madison County is to develop servant leaders by exposing our participants to the best practices for community leadership. Through a format of lecture, open dialogue, on-site visitation and class interaction, a participant will be exposed to capacities of leadership such as visioning, collaboration, community building activities and being a good Board member. We will meet twice during the year with the Youth Leadership Academy and service projects are coordinated through the Academy.
WHY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY?
Learn valuable leadership and collaboration skills to apply personally and professionally.
Discover your personal strengths and capacity for leadership and community building.
Become part of the solution for Madison County by growing as a Servant Leader.

The Selection Committee of the Leadership Academy is charged with the responsibility of appointing the class participants each year. Candidates may apply directly or be nominated by their employer. The Selection Committee seeks to assemble a class that is diverse, appointing participants who are emerging or recognized leaders in the community.

Through my own Leadership Academy experience, I learned so much about Madison County and developed many valuable relationships. Leadership Academy builds awareness of service opportunities and teaches us about working in teams, thinking creatively and fostering innovation. Our community is so fortunate to have this resource to mentor leaders. By supporting Leadership Academy, we support the growth of leaders and the success of our community."
