We are proud to announce the Year 11 graduates of Leadership 49, a nine-month leadership program designed to develop empowered and engaged citizens that will strengthen and connect the communities of Park County. Finishing its eleventh year, Leadership 49 has graduated over 185 community leaders.
“Joining this group helped me understand Park County as it is now. To learn how diverse the county is, and the people are, is uplifting” shared Keva Ward, Park County Community Foundation Program Director and Year 10 Alumnus.
