YLNI is ready to lead the charge in bridging the gap between community development and quality of place.  If young people are serious about making Northeast Indiana a vibrant and viable place to live, work and play, they must exercise foresight, collaborate with community leaders, and share their own “2020 Vision.” With this type of action, by the year 2020 that vision will have become a reality. Young adults in the area can express their vision for the region by completing the online survey for the 2020 Vision.

YLNI announces the newest installment of the Leadership Institute. Applications can be downloaded here and are due by January 22, 2010. The goal of the YLNI Leadership Institute is to cultivate the personal and professional development of existing and emerging young leaders of northeast Indiana.

Seminar topics include maximizing personal leadership, interpersonal communication and presentation skills, team building, diversity, and community impact. Sessions will be held on five Saturdays, February through April 2010, with kick-off and graduation events on Thursdays.
