“I am a proud Leadership Somerset alum. I invite people to join the online Information Session to learn more about this wonderful, diverse program,” said Commissioner Melonie Marano, program liaison. “It’s a great opportunity to network with community leaders, learn more about Somerset County resources and make a positive impact in the community.”

“The program is held one day a month, beginning in January, and each session focuses on a different topic. Participants will interact with local leaders on topics like government, economy, justice and public safety, human services, community health and the environment,” said Commissioner Paul Drake, program liaison. “Throughout the year, class members will discuss capacities of positive leadership and enjoy class trips, which offer new perspectives and access to a variety of resources.”

The majority of the cost to attend the year-long adult leadership program is underwritten by the Somerset County Board of County Commissioners.  Leadership Somerset participants are asked to contribute a program fee of $425 for the year, which covers participation in all sessions, materials and meals.  Limited scholarships based on financial need are available.
