Leadership is an investment. The community depends on talented and committed individuals and therefore we need to invest in their training. As a not for profit organization, we rely on the community and our partners for donations and sponsorship.
Leadership Windor/Essx is not a United Way funded program, however, we do receive in kind services from them in the way of administrative and operations support. This allows Leadership Windsor/Essex to allocate more of our funds raised directly to our program.
