Clinton County Leadership Class of 2021-2022
This was part of a local leadership. I built connections with the community through my classmates who came from various fields of practice. I learned about aspects of out county including health, education, and its history - to list a few.
I learned what it meant to be a leader, what it takes to make a community work, and I got a better appreciation into the work these people did.
