WHAT'S THE GOAL?

LR connects with leaders and experts in our community to create quality experiences for each class.  We do this by presenting speakers and field site visits that allow the class to learn about issues that our community is facing first hand.

WHAT DOES A PROGRAM DAY PLANNING COMMITTEE DO?

Each year, small teams of volunteers help plan our program days by prioritizing current discussion topics, connecting with speakers and panelists, and helping to organize field trips and experiences for the day.  The committees ensures that experts and stakeholders of diverse backgrounds present to the class to share their  knowledge about the topic.  They also provide supportive informational resources for the class.

TIME COMMITMENT?

2 planning meetings
-- Meeting 1 is typically done in-person so the planning committee can meet one another.
-- Meeting 2  is in person, or may be done by teleconference or e-mail
Members are also invited to attend the program day you're helping plan if you're schedule allows.

WHAT DO THESE COMMITTEE DO?

-- MARKETING & RECRUITMENT - A committee of the Board, this committee advises marketing strategy and helps find nominees for the program in the future.

-- FUNDRAISING & DEVELOPMENT -  A committee of the Board, this committee helps drum up ways to support our LR scholarships and overall fundraising strategy.  

-- ALUMNI COMMITTEE - A group of Alumni who want to create one or more events for Alumni to connect and engage  this year.  This group may also help with Alumni Events, Alumni Social Media events and other Alumni Communication.  (This group may work in cooperation with the Marketing and Fundraising Committees.)

-- EMERGING LEADERS YOUTH PROGRAM - Volunteer to help plan or speak for the Emerging Leaders youth program held in the spring.  Volunteers may also help recruit for the program.

TIME COMMITMENT?

It varies.  Our committees typically meet monthly but it varies depending on the time of year.  The committee sets its schedule based on the member availability.  Members are also invited to attend LR graduation.  

Program Planning Committee Chairs are also back for 2019! This offers a great opportunity to build your leadership skills and connections while serving.  Chairs work with the Executive Director to lead the planning committees. Chairs connect and help make sure the committees are successful. As Chair, you are invited to class welcome and networking events and graduation.  Chairpersons are reviewed and approved by a Leadership Rochester Board Representative.

This year we may offer mentorship opportunities for Alumni to connect and meet with a current class member from this year's class.  We're gauging interest from our alumni.  Please let us know if you may be interested.

EXPECTATIONS?

-- Meet with a class member 1:1 during the year to connect and discuss their experiences.  We'll give you guided questions or you can just connect and learn from one another.

TIME COMMITMENT?

-- Meet twice with the class member during the class year.  Share coffee or a meal or just take a walk.
