Leadership Peach Program - Accepting Applications!
The Community Leadership Program is a leadership skills development program for emerging leaders in communities throughout the state – it is based on the 6th edition of the UGA Fanning Institute’s Community Leadership Program and has been customized to meet the needs of our community. The curriculum is divided into an opening retreat and five modules relevant to community leadership and includes a variety of activities for each session. Each topic has a broad learning objective with specific goals. Fanning offers information that allows leaders to learn, understand, or clarify issues on a particular topic as well as apply what they have learned. The Leadership Peach Program will consist of six days of training, ranging in topics that are relevant and specific to Peach County. Click here for morning session overview.
Additionally, participants in the program will learn about key topics related to economic development efforts in Peach County. They will meet and hear from current leaders from different agencies in Peach County, the State and some local partners to include representatives from:
- Peach County Board of Commissioners
- Peach County Tax Commission
- Peach County Tax Assessor
- Peach County Board of Equalization
- Development Authority of Peach County
- Center for Economic Development Research at the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute
- Georgia Department of Economic Development
- Georgia Department of Community Affairs
- Fort Valley State University
- Central Georgia Technical College
- Georgia Power
- Fort Valley Utility Commission
- Flint Energies
- And more!
Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions and engage with these representatives on a more focused, personal level, learn what they do and more importantly … why and how. There is a tremendous need to make this information clear and available to our citizenry so they can understand what is going on behind the scenes.
Another objective of the program is to create and encourage community pride and team spirit.
There will be participants from diverse backgrounds and they’ll bring different perspectives to the table.
The class will learn how to recognize and enhance their existing leadership skills, gain a better understanding of themselves and their role as future community leaders and help them take proactive roles in the community.
The expected result from the Program is a better, brighter sense of community, a stronger future leadership base and more informed citizens. Ultimately, the goal is to develop champions who will carry the positive message and useful information into the community!

A light breakfast will be served each morning and the class is encouraged to be at the location by 8:30 a.m. each day to settle in, grab a bite to eat, socialize with fellow classmates and be ready for the start at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
Lunch will be provided each day (as outlined within each Module description) along with snacks during scheduled breaks throughout the day. If you have any dietary restrictions, please advise and submit to our office by September 10th, 2022.
The investment for all sessions (which include a light breakfast, lunch and snacks each day) is $500.00. You will learn a LOT and come away from the program knowing more about your leadership style and your strengths (and how to apply them in your daily life) AND you will have a much clearer understanding of incredibly important topics related to your community, not to mention the focused, small-group environment where you can meet, talk to and ask questions of local, regional and state leadership.
There are a limited number of spots available for the 2022/2023 class so please submit as soon as possible to be considered for this round. Once you complete the application and are selected to participate in the program, a more detailed schedule will be provided along with a list of pre-module reading assignments, dietary restriction needs requests and shirt size information (for your team spirit shirt!).
