I understand there is a required time commitment to successfully complete the program. The time commitment for Leadership Union is ten full-day sessions, one day per month (except July and December). Attendance at the Opening Retreat and at all sessions is required. Failure to adhere to the attendance policy may subject the applicant to review by the Leadership Union Steering Committee as to eligibility and/or successful graduation from the program.

Leadership Union tuition is $675. Employers generally pay all or most of the cost, but there are limited scholarship funds available for people who demonstrate a need for financial assistance. Tuition is NON-REFUNDABLE once the program begins.

If selected as a Leadership Union participant, I understand that I am committing myself to involvement in the community upon graduation from the program.

I understand the goals and commitments of the Leadership Union program. If selected, I will commit the required time, adhere to the attendance policy, and pay my tuition prior to orientation.
