- Leadership Jefferson County, a program housed at the Community Foundation of Madison & Jefferson County, is now accepting applications for the 2019 course. The course consists of 10 biweekly sessions that will help participants have a better understanding of resources and relationships in the community. Throughout the course, community members and topic experts will speak and share their insights. All sessions will be held from 8am to Noon, with lunch to follow, and meeting locations will vary. Leadership Jefferson County is an action project that evolved from Envision Jefferson County.

“Leadership Jefferson County was nothing short of life changing,” said Chris Mattern, a member of the Leadership Class of 2018. “I came into the program wanting to learn how to be more involved in the community and I left not only involved, but motivated to be a part of positive change and growth in Jefferson County.”

Applications are available online at www.cfmjc.org/ leadership.php or can be picked up at the Community Foundation office at 416 West Street, Madison, Indiana.
