The two-year contract will give Santa Clara and other affected cities time to plan, finance, and commence construction of a regional animal shelter, as well as transition into full responsibility for animal control field services. The future isn't what it used to be. What the City of Santa Clara will be like as we progress farther into the 21st century depends on the contributions of active and informed local leaders - people like yourself who make a commitment to give back to the community where they live and work. Leadership Santa Clara is a program designed to prepare future leaders for the many challenges that lie ahead. Typically, each Leadership class meets for two days in January and then once a month from February through June.
Participants pay a modest tuition fee and some scholarships are available.
It gave me the place and time to learn more about myself in relation to the community I live in. It was really inspiring to discuss ideas and issues with community leaders and the members in the program. I hope many others will be as fortunate as I was to experience this program.
