Leadership Clark County is accepting applications for the class of 2009, according to LCC chairman, Jon Yamashita. Enrollment is open to individuals from both public and private businesses and institutions. LCC seeks to fill the class with a broad spectrum of community members from diverse racial, ethnic, economic, and work experience backgrounds, says Yamashita.

Now in its 15th year, LCC is a 10-month training and development program that prepares citizens to become more effective community leaders by providing an opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become active members of our community and assist in tackling the community's most pressing issues.

Over the ten-month program, participants attend monthly sessions during which they interact with business leaders, state legislators, local government officials, and community organization leaders, as well as participate in site tours around the county, case studies, and interactive panels. The course culminates with the presentation of the class members’ group projects, each designed to address an identifiable community need.

The classes run from September 2008 to graduation in June 2009, with approximately 36 participants. The application deadline for enrollment is Monday, April 28, 2008. Limited scholarships may be available. Additional information can be obtained at www.leadershipclarkcounty.com or by calling LCC executive director Kathy Scott at 567-1085.

I'm sorry Chief, but I would rather spend my money on a College Class in Gov then waste money on a class that is just a wasted piece of paper? Is this a college program or just a group of folks like some of those online classes where the paper is worthless?? It's just narrow/self center minded folks that think this means something and if you would taken this piece of paper let's say back east, I'm sure they will have a good laugh!! College Credits mean more!!

I'll make no judegements like that because I have heard good things about the course, know several graduates, and have not seen the course materials personally.

From what I've been told, this class does a lot of good toward teaching newbies how to run as Politicians, and how the Systems really work.

In other words, it dispells a lot of illusions, especially about the course itself...

Chief, it's a course to as it was explained to me, teach how we do business here in Clark County and those that take it will be the first selected for openings. Just like we have our people in place and we don't have to deal with the public!?! Do you know the history of this group? Now we all know about those fake degrees and we all know just how much they are worth, don't we?? Don't you think a College degree from an accredited learning institution would be more worth your money than an so called group that isn't accredited and if folks saw this back east they would laugh out loud?? Sorry Chief but a Fake is a Fake no matter how much it costs if it doesn't have an accredited institution behind it?? Sorry if I laugh out loud here!!

If you buy this, I have some stock in that third bridge to sell ya???

I've seen several well spoken candidates come out of this program over the past three years. So I'm not going to make such comments that Karma is doing right now.

Karma, if you have issues with City of Vancouver and Clark County, Leadership Clark County isn't about inflating some politicians ego or making them a better politician.. Its about making people who're good citizens and are working here and making them best people we can.

Now if you have personal gripes about said governments, please continue to go to the meetings and scream out your frustrations. Posting here and not doing any thing about it doesn't help.

Fakes are fakes and what can one say?? Get a College degree and don't waste your money on programs like this. Check out the history of this group and see how they opperate. I'm sorry you two don't get it, most folks do and agree it's a waste!! I'll put up my college degree against their useless paper any day!?
