        At LEAD Brevard, we believe great leaders have the unique capacity to put the common good above self-interest. For more than 32 years, the Leadership Brevard program has inspired high-performance individuals to take their place as influential community leaders, by enabling them to think differently about themselves and their role in the community.

        Now Accepting Leadership Action Project Proposals    
        Due: Friday, July 14, 2017    
             
           
        Members of the Leadership Brevard Class of 2017 Leadership Action Project Team: Children's Home Society    
             
        LEAD Brevard is seeking project proposals from Brevard County's non-profit 501 (c)(3) organizations and Brevard County's municipalities for consideration as a Leadership Action Project (LAP) for the 2018 Class of Leadership Brevard. Project proposals should be designed with the understanding that the Leadership Brevard class is comprised of talented and professionally accomplished individuals. We seek projects that are large enough in scope to utilize the skills of 8 - 12 team members, with different skills and experience and that will benefit an established 501 (c)(3) nonprofit agency or public sector organization.    
             
       

Please visit: http://www.leadbrevard.org/leadership-brevard/leadership-action-projects/ for LAP qualifying criteria and to complete a proposal application. Proposals are due to the LEAD Brevard office no later than 4:00 p.m., Friday July 14, 2017.

 

Completed proposals can be mailed to:
