Participants for the 22nd annual Hardin Leadership class, a program designed for the development of informed and effective community leaders, are being recruited now until March 3.

Hardin Leadership is sponsored and conducted by OSU Extension, Hardin County office and the Hardin Leadership Steering Committee. Nine monthly sessions will focus on the knowledge/skills required by today's community leader, such as team building, public speaking, and marketing. This year’s program will be offered in morning sessions on the second Thursdays, March through November.

A tuition fee of $300 per person covers the expenses of the program. Employers/ organizations are encouraged to sponsor participants. Ten percent of the tuition fee is recommended to be paid by each participant as an indication of commitment to the program. At least four scholarships are available to Hardin County residents who would be self-paying participants.
