Selection Criteria

SELECTION CRITERIA
The quality of our participants, their diversity, leadership, commitment to the community, and commitment to learning is the primary strength of the Leadership Atlanta program. They will represent the public and private sectors and civic and community organizations in our area.

A selection committee, made up each year of six alumni, will carefully review all submitted applications.

The committee looks for applicants who:

Hold positions of leadership in their employment or volunteer organization.
Display evidence of mature judgment and exceptional leadership qualities.
Have demonstrated a strong interest in and commitment to the community through significant voluntary leadership roles in community organizations.
Are most qualified to utilize their leadership skills through community service for the long-term benefit of the community.
Have obvious potential for growing personally and effecting change.
Are willing to commit the time and energy necessary to complete the program.

Other considerations:

We are anxious to have participants from the entire metro area.
We seek a class that reflects the diversity of the metro area.
We seek representatives from business, government, non-profit and volunteer sectors.
There are no age restrictions or limitations.
Tenure in Atlanta is not necessarily a factor. Potential for impact on Atlanta now and in the future is more important. Community service in other communities is considered in the selection process.
