06/24/2005: "Leadership Class Plants Oak Tree"

It was over a year ago that Skagit Valley College, working with the aid of the SJC Economic Development Council, began accepting nominations for a six month course designed to help create leadership skills for the participants in the program that would benefit not only the participants, but also the community.

To honor the founding of the Leadership San Juan Islands program, the class recently planted a Red Oak tree at the courthouse.

In a past conversation with Skagit Valley College Director Colleen Clancy, the Guardian was told that some of the members of the first class would now continue the program, so that each class would, in some measure, become a part of the leadership that continues the program.

Additional information on how to become involved can be obtained from Skagit Valley College.
