MSU Extension plans county leadership program beginning Sept. 3; scholarships and community sponsors support fees
Summary
A presenter described an MSU Extension leadership program launching Sept. 3 in Whitehall with monthly full-day sessions, a $200 fee covering meals and materials, partial and full scholarships available, and community sponsors funding that will not draw from the Madison County budget.
A presenter outlined details of an MSU Extension leadership program set to launch in early September, saying the program will meet once a month for a full day and that organizers have 14 confirmed participants with capacity to extend to 20. "We're launching our leadership program in the beginning of September. We have 14 people... We'll run it with 14," the presenter said.
The presenter said the first session will be held Wednesday, Sept. 3, in Whitehall at the extension office and that the program will rotate monthly through nearby communities including Alder, Basin, Ennis and Virginia City. The fee is $200 per participant to cover lunch, room rental, materials and speaker travel; organizers have secured partial external sponsorships "not from our Madison County budget" and offer partial or full scholarships to lower barriers to participation.
Commissioners asked about outreach and posting; the presenter said one-on-one invitations and community contacts are the main recruitment strategy given the short timeline. The presenter asked commissioners and staff to help spread the word to county employees and local businesses who might benefit from the leadership training.
