Leadership Atlanta Nomination
Leadership Atlanta would like your help in nominating potential applicants for the Class of 2012. Alumni and current class participants are our most important source for nominations. We ask you to take this responsibility seriously by actively seeking out qualified enthusiastic applicants to insure the continuation of a program that has been such a positive force in metro Atlanta.
Our participants' diversity, leadership, community commitment and will to learn are the primary strengths of the Leadership Atlanta program. This cross-section of top-quality nominees represents our area's public and private sectors as well as civic and community organizations.
Each year, six alumni comprise the selection committee, which carefully reviews 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.
- Demonstrate a strong interest in and commitment to the community through significant voluntary leadership roles in community organizations.
- Present the qualifications to utilize their leadership skills through community service for the long-term benefit of the community.
- Command obvious potential for growing personally and effecting change.
- Possess the time, energy and commitment necessary to complete the program.
Other considerations:
- Participants from the entire metro area.
- A class that reflects the diversity of metro Atlanta.
- 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.
