The class begins in August and ends at graduation ceremony in June.  RCL associates can anticipate one full, uninterrupted day per seminar.  Seminars typically begin at 7:30am with the goal to finish by 6:00pm.  Digital breaks are scheduled throughout the day to ensure associates can check calls, texts and emails if necessary. 

The tuition for the program is $350 per associate.  The cost includes meals, refreshments, transportation for traveling seminars and intimate coaching from Clifton Strengths coach.

Applications can be found under the home page of our website at www.russellcountyleadership.com.  Completed applications can be submitted to russellcountyleadership@gmail.com or mailed to PO Box 22, Russell, KS 67665.  

Seminars are split between classroom-type setting and traveling throughout the county to visit different businesses and communities. The classroom portion of the program is hosted at a variety of locations with conference rooms of business partner sponsors in the Russell area.  

Upon acceptance into the program, class members will be given a Russell County Leadership notebook and name tag that is to be brought and worn when representing the program.  There may be additional homework assigned to associates prior to each seminar in addition to possible projects and events.  All projects and homework will be communicated with plenty of time to prepare. 

You! At each seminar, (2) associates will volunteer to be the chair and scribe for the day.  Of course an RCL bord member will be there to help facilitate the day and assist as needed, however the thought is that just as class members lead various organizational and professional meetings, it is the chair's responsibility to facilitate the day.
