Knowledge objectives:

Basic skill development includes: verbal and non-verbal communication and listening skills, assertiveness, negotiation, conflict resolution, team building, preparing presentations, personality and leadership styles, personal mission, goal setting, and time management. Capacity building skills include: visioning, networking, collaboration, strategic planning, facilitation, fundraising, public speaking, and parliamentary procedure.
 
Guiding principal objectives:
Participants will have an understanding of the concepts of community trusteeship, stewardship and servant leadership; comprehend leadership character traits including integrity and ethics, commitment, competence, personal and social responsibility and accountability; and value inclusion and respect of other viewpoints.
 
“This experience has opened my eyes to everything that Nebraska City has to offer. I have such excitement for our town and all that it has to offer in all aspects of life - personal, professional and spiritual. There are so many opportunities to volunteer; there is truly something for everyone. As a realtor I am much more knowledgeable to share opportunities with those considering a move here.”
