Jamie Karns May 22, 2017
Congratulations LDA Class of 2017 Congratulations to the Leadership Development Academy Class of 2017! Five team projects, 28 graduating LDA participants and ten really great sessions;
April 2017: Volunteering and Mini-Projects
Jamie Karns April 14, 2017
Volunteering can change your life and the lives of others. The Leadership Development Academy class learned all about that from our panel of experts, then were able to put what they learned into practice.
March 2017: Public Speaking & Active Shooter Training
Jamie Karns March 15, 2017
What do public speaking, a leadership game, an organization that helps clients with disabilities, an FBI agent, active shooter training and emergency medical procedures have in common?
February 2017: Marketing and Branding
Jamie Karns February 15, 2017
Marketing and branding surrounds us everyday and affects many decisions we make. Knowing about them can help us make better decisions and influence others. Meeting at ANGI Energy Systems for our February session was outstanding.
January 2017: Homelessness, Poverty & Diversity
Jamie Karns January 20, 2017
Homelessness, poverty and diversity. Tough problems. What is being done to help with these issues? Can the Leadership Development Academy make a difference or are the problems too big?
December 2016: Leadership, Networking & Fundraising
Jamie Karns December 14, 2016
How would you define “leadership”? Does a leader ever doubt they are a leader? Who inspires you? How do you network? How should we go about fundraising?
November 2016 Session: Economic Development
Jamie Karns November 18, 2016
Have you ever wondered what economic development is all about? What does it take to bring a company to Rock County? How many agencies are involved? What is the process? What is the timeline? Is Rock County ready to welcome new businesses?
Perfect Day for a Tour of Southern Rock County, Scot Forge and Ironworks
Jamie Karns October 20, 2016
Perfect day for a tour of the Beloit Ironworks and Scot Forge in Clinton as part of a Southern Rock County economic development bus tour! The Leadership Development Academy spent the afternoon digging into complex problem solving and project planning. The day ended with a panel on the Top 10 Community Challenges.
LDA Class of 2016-17 off to promising start
Jamie Karns September 16, 2016
I have always told my boys to choose a job they love and they will never work a day in their lives. I believe I have found my calling at the Leadership Development Academy of Rock County.
