Senior Leadership Montgomery is a program for people 55+ who are seeking to deepen their civic engagement, their knowledge about the county and expand their community network. This program helps to answer the question, “What’s Next?” by informing, educating and connecting participants to the resources and expertise of other local leaders.

Once-per-month for eight months, participants engage in learning more about the place in which they live while developing significant and meaningful relationships with their classmates. The connections made can help participants become better engaged in their communities and make those communities better places for future generations.
