WE LEARN. WE SERVE. The calendar is set and we are ready to Go! WE want you to join us. The LEAA is ready for a fabulous 2015, equipped with our Annual Meeting on January 15th. Come provide input and learn about what the LEAA is doing this year. WE surveyed, you spoke, we listened. LEAA is about connecting graduates to meaningful opportunities to further explore KLC competencies while continuing develop personally and professionally. WE are flexible. The LEAA now offers programs that meet your availability and schedule without weighing you down as another obligation. The LEAA yearly dues are $10 and lifetime dues are a cool $100. The money goes to support programs, Leadership Emporia Scholarships, and supplies for events. Quarterly Trainings: Breakfast and lunch sessions that focus on continued integration of Kansas Leadership Center competencies in your personal and professional life. Read & Lead: Using the KLC quarterly Journal as a guide, Read & Lead is a program for LEAA members to meet at a social establishment and discuss The Journal and how it can apply to our lives. WE SERVE: LEAA knows that members are all about service. Through the LEAA Facebook page, Chamber newsletters, and LEAA email listserve, the association will attempt to connect interested members to service opportunities, city boards, service clubs, and more!
