Memphis, TN – May 27, 2010 – Leadership Memphis, an organization that continually develops new and innovative ways to connect and create more community leaders, is officially launching recruitment for its upcoming FastTrack Fall 2010 leadership program. With the increasing number of young leaders now embracing more significant roles within the community, this program is particularly important.
The FastTrack program is for young professional and high-potential leaders who want to be fast-tracked as part of the next generation of community leaders. FastTrack builds on each participant's personal leadership skills and community IQ. Participants gain a stronger understanding about how to take Memphis to the next level through experiential learning processes and exposure to high-profile community leaders. Fall semester begins in August and ends in November. During the eleven-session program, participants spend a cumulative 40 hours together on a challenging and informative curriculum. Participants also have the opportunity to engage in community learning journeys and participate in an Action Hero project.
