Leadership Tomorrow accepting applications for class of 2009

In the past year, participants in Leadership Tomorrow have held a Q-and-session with the Orange County district attorney and public defender, participated in a tour of the Los Angeles Times Orange County operation, and taken a two-day trip to learn about water issues facing Orange County. They’ve learned about the county’s health care system, visited unique education programs in area schools and more.

While the class of 2008 recently graduated, nominations are now being accepted for adults who would like to participate in the program’s class of 2009. The next class will run from September through June 2009.

Leadership Tomorrow is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to expand knowledge, empower citizens and promote community involvement through an education program in civic awareness and leadership. Each year’s class is comprised of a diverse group of corporate, business and public-sector leaders, nonprofit agency representatives and other residents who are committed to making a difference in the communities of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Irvine.

Those interested in finding out more about the program should contact Jeff Parker at (949) 729-4408 to request an information packet and membership application. The application form can also be downloaded at www.leadershiptomorrow.org.
