COMMUNITY ACTION PROJECT (CAP) 2008-2009

Every year Leadership Amarillo & Canyon has had direct impact on improving the lives of individuals and organization in the community through the Community Action Projects.  This year the 2008-2009 LAC Class has developed the foundation for a volunteer database match which is designed to match volunteers with the needs of the organization. Leadership Amarillo & Canyon has partnered with Murf Systems to create personality profiles to help determine the match.  The LAC 2008-2009 has done a magnificent job on the CAP project for this year.

Adult Program:

Since 1981, Leadership Amarillo & Canyon (LAC) has educated and developed area leaders on the challenges facing our community. Our ten-month leadership development program is designed to introduce leadership tools that will make better employees, leading to a better workplace, better families and ultimately a better community. Participants will meet one day a month to learn and tour various businesses and industries in the community. The curriculum presented will teach participants first-hand knowledge of leadership and how these tools will have direct application for their business and personal lives.
