Testimonials
“What I appreciated most about the WCLI was the people – the ones in my cohort, who offered diverse perspectives of life in Washington County, and the people we learned from when exploring the county. I believe people are our greatest resource in Washington County, and the WCLI gave me the opportunity to connect with some incredible people who work hard in service to our communities.”
“I am so happy that I had the opportunity to participate in WCLI 2019. I looked forward to each and every session. I learned a tremendous amount about Washington County and the incredible assets in all of the communities. Our group was cohesive, and we immediately created a safe and truthful environment for which to work within. I will miss our time together but am very confident we will continue to keep in touch and support one another.”
