Buckets on the Table: Backpack Program
Speaker of the Day: Robin McIntosh, Midcoast Leadership Academy
Engaging regional conversations to build networks of leaders that get to know each other and be able to move change forward in our area. MLA is working to create informed and engaged leaders in Knox and Waldo counties. They have a nine month program for adults to build understanding on how our communities work. The program has around 20 participants a year, chosen through an application process where they are aiming for diversity of thought, knowledge and experience. Participants work together and with local leaders. MLA students learn about the differences between leadership and management, how community leadership is different, teaching skills of mentorship and leadership styles. The program starts with a LEAP where students learn about problem solving, personality types and learning styles. The program is structured by diverse topics and visit local venues such as, farming, justice system, boatyards, education, health and human services and local government. The program changes every year. Application process is currently open.
