Show the World How… Cleveland LEADS
Do you have what it takes to be a leader in an increasingly globalized world?
How do topics such as global competency, intercultural understanding, diversity, and global awareness impact what we do everyday in Greater Cleveland?
How can young professionals shape the region of Northeast Ohio through a more global lens?
The Cleveland LEADS program seeks to answer these questions. Throughout ten weeks, Cleveland Leadership, Exchange, and Diplomacy Scholars will explore their role as emerging leaders through the pillars of leadership development, global competency, and international exchange.
We know that Cleveland LEADS, and we want YOU to join us in developing the leaders of the future!
