“My membership with Leadership Greater Hartford gives me access to the movers and shakers in Greater Hartford, people I wouldn’t normally be able to get up close and personal with. I really appreciate being part of that world. LGH gives me the clout I need to get the inside track on what’s happening in the community. Members of LGH are the people who count and care, and the leaders in Hartford recognize that.”

- Betty Domer, Graduate of Quest 1991 and member of the LGH Leadership Circle

Training begins in January 2008.

Those selected to be in the program will begin their “quest” with an overnight retreat in January. The class then meets for one skill-building workshop per month, including hands-on learning activities, tours of Hartford, and other educational and social events. At the same time, the class breaks into teams to work on “real-world” projects that address important issues within the Greater Hartford community. Participants will learn to think creatively, act collaboratively and take purposeful risks in response to challenges posed by their community projects.

About the Quest Training Program:
