The community must embrace individuals who are filled with energy, new ideas and a vision to improve the community. It is important for business and civic leaders to pass the torch and mentor young prospective leaders. Encourage their community involvement by allowing them to serve on boards and to work in your companies in apprentice and intern programs. Young leaders will bring hope and movement into a changing society. It is imperative that we provide incentives for the young leaders from our community to return to the Rock River Valley when they complete their education or training.
Nothing ever stays the same.
Great communities recognize and embrace the need for young, diverse leaders to lead them into the future.
