“Joining this past year’s Leadership Program has helped me form additional professional and personal contacts. We had a quaint group, 6 in total which helped us all get to know each other on a more intimate level that will carry on for years to come. Get out there and experience what our county has to offer and find out what wonderful opportunities await you. 走出你的舒适区，发现这个项目能为你做些什么!” 

~Kali Owens, City of Manistee

“The Leadership Program has allowed me to grow professionally while learning about and exploring the community that I live in. It is an eye-opening experience that has made me more aware of the challenges that our community faces and the fact that there is plenty of opportunity to impact the community in a meaningful way. This program has opened the door for the possibility of opportunities that I had never known about before.”

“作为领导小组的一员，我真的很享受我的时光. 我可以去一些我从未去过的地方. 特别是阿卡迪亚沼泽和提比大坝."

通过领导力项目，我不仅对马尼斯蒂县有了更多的了解, but I also got to be a part of an impactful project that will positively benefit the lives and safety of the residents and visitors of Manistee County for a long time with the installation of seven life jacket loaner stations through our class's big day of serving project.  It's powerful when people from all walks of life and all areas of commerce come together with a common goal.  I never would have been able to make such a huge and lasting difference in my community by myself, 我们所有人齐心协力才有所作为.
