LWC Signature Leadership Program

Since 1998, Leadership Washington County has been
dedicated to developing current and future leaders who make
an immediate and lasting impact across Southwestern Pennsylvania.

LWC Signature Leadership Program

The LWC Signature Leadership Program is a 10-month, intensive leadership experience designed for professionals currently serving in leadership roles, as well as small business owners seeking to deepen their impact.Throughout the program, participants engage in a dynamic combination of classroom learning, experiential opportunities, and direct exposure to government, academic, nonprofit, and corporate institutions across the region. This comprehensive approach provides a deeper understanding of the local economy, community systems, and leadership challenges shaping Washington County and Southwestern Pennsylvania.

 

The Signature Program also offers access to a robust network of business and community leaders, creating meaningful connections that extend well beyond the program year. Participants leave with expanded perspectives, strengthened leadership skills, and a greater capacity to contribute to their organizations and communities.

 

Applications are now Open.
