Leadership Watertown

 

 

 

Leadership Watertown is a program for individuals interested in becoming leaders in the community. The program strives to develop a corps of informed, committed, and qualified individuals capable of and willing to provide dynamic leadership in the Watertown area. This is achieved by challenging and educating participants on the opportunities and needs of the community and by creating a dialogue and rapport among participants and community leaders.
