CORE PROGRAM APPLICATION

Thank you for applying to CORE. This program offers programming that supports established leaders in their professional lives. CORE provides executive-level conversations, interaction, and topic exploration with other county decision-makers and influencers. In addition to external connections, the CORE program allows the opportunity for individualized growth through small group discussions that raise the issues that matter to leaders and their organizations and communities.

Please note that you can save your progress and continue later via the “Save” button at the bottom of the application.
