Sessions will be held this year on November 16, December 16, January 27, February 24, and March 24.  Sessions are held at various locations around the county and run from 5:30-8 p.m.  Class size is limited to 20 participants. 

“Our people are a very important resource within Marion County.   It is our people that will develop ideas to grow our businesses.  It is our people that will find solutions to community needs.  And it is our people who make the area a unique destination to visit,” stated Carla Eysink, MCDC Executive Director.  “Leadership Red Rock allows people who live and work in this area an opportunity to examine the role each of us plays in developing Marion County into an outstanding place to live, work and visit.”
