The Academy is designed to develop the leadership needed to build a healthy community that can talk about tough issues and face change with a shared proactive effort. The Leadership Academy of Madison County prepares potential community servant-leaders/trustees for the economic, social, educational and human service challenges we face today and tomorrow. The strengths of the network of 500+ alumni facilitates this endeavor.
