Today, The Newaygo County Economic Development Partnership (NCEDP), powered by The Right Place, Inc., announced a new leadership program launching in January 2024.

This program is aimed at advancing the growth and development of future leaders in Newaygo County. Designed to be applicable across a multitude of industries and age groups, the intent of this new program is to encourage local employers to recognize and empower their teams and provide resources to grow future leaders.

NCEDP leadership hopes to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and connections necessary to address the region’s challenges and opportunities, making a positive impact on Newaygo County.

Participants will meet once per month for three hours between January and June 2024, and will learn about self-awareness, developing internal entrepreneurial characteristics, civility, time & stress management, conflict resolution, project management and more. The sessions will be facilitated by various industry professionals, and participants will receive complimentary materials throughout the program.

The inaugural cohort of this program will consist of 12 individuals from diverse backgrounds and geographies within Newaygo County. Individuals who wish to nurture their leadership potential and aspire to make a positive impact can visit bit.ly/leadershipnewaygocounty to apply.
