Leadership Sunnyvale
The next Leadership Sunnyvale class is set to start on Sept. 13. For about a day-and-a-half a month for nine months, participants will explore parts of the city and check out some of the inner workings of the community. In addition to coursework, members of each Leadership Sunnyvale class will select and complete a class project that benefits the community and Leadership Sunnyvale.
Each year, Leadership Sunnyvale selects up to 30 participants from the local community’s business, professional, government, social and service organizations who have demonstrated interest in the community and have displayed potential as an emerging leader in their business or private life.
