"The adult classes provided the opportunity to share ideas and  experiences with

 other professionals and potential leaders within the  Wabash Valley. The program

 uncovered political, religious, and social  challenges, and revealed leadership

 opportunities that I was not aware  existed. I am currently on the Board of

 Leadership Wabash Valley because I believe in and support this organization as

 it identifies and develops new energetic leaders who can bring new visions, ideas

 and solutions to our developing community. "

 Leadership Wabash Valley introduces emerging leaders to existing leaders,

 exposes the participants to the broad impact upon our communities of the private,

 public and non-profit sectors and reinforces that it is our responsibility to make

 our communities places in which we want to work, play and raise our families. 

 Leadership Terre Haute, as it was then known, has had a tremendous impact

 upon my life.  It helped to shape my current career, it provided me exposure to

 our community's leadership and, most importantly, through LTH, I have built

 friendships that have lasted ever since Class 10.

 Leadership Terre Haute was a very effective vehicle for me to learn about our

 community’s institutions and leaders.  Working closely with my classmates, I not

 only gained knowledge of my community, but also benefited from the diversity of

 perspectives represented in the class and made real connections that have

 allowed me to move forward in working with and for our community.  It was an

 incredibly enjoyable and productive experience.
