Community Leadership Development
OML Accepting Applications for Community Leadership Development Class 11 and Host Cities
The Oklahoma Municipal League (OML) is seeking host cities and participants for the Class 11 Community Leadership Development program (formerly CALT). Host cities and participants are vital to the success of this worthwhile program. Communities that host a session are not only providing participants with a location to meet, they are also providing them the opportunity to see what is successful in your community and how they can apply it to their own.
Community Leadership Development (CLD) provides municipal officials and community leaders with training and educational opportunities. The program's focus is to equip the participants with the skills and knowledge they need to positively impact their local communities.
Participants in CLD learn valuable skills in teamwork, community assessment and planning, economic development and tourism, leadership styles, community renewal, and building partnerships with organizations and businesses in their communities. We are excited to begin Class 11 and hope you will consider being a host or signing up for the class.
