“WCLI is a great program that builds leadership skills and connects leaders across the County. If you’re interested in growing and building relationships I would recommend the program!”
SUSAN CORBETT

Lambda Class.
“Washington County is a magical place. The Washington County Leadership Institute was “reimagined” by alumni who are committed to educational leadership and making where we live, play and work the very best that it can be.”
DIANNE TILTON

Alpha Class.
“This program is great for anyone who wants to deepen their awareness of themselves and the region to be more effective at work, in their community, and at home.”
ANN CANNIZZARO
Reading First Coach, Beatrice Rafferty School
Gamma Class.
“When I attended the WCLI, way back when, I was proud to be a representative of the school community in Maine. It’s not often that classroom educators are able to participate in leadership activities that take them beyond the confines of their work in the classroom. I didn’t think of myself as a leader. What I learned through the institute was that every teacher is a leader and should be treated as such. We have a huge role to play in leadership for the future. I have never forgotten that lesson. I bring leadership with me to school every day now.”
MEL ADAMS
Downeast Director, Maine Seacoast Mission
Sigma Class.
When I arrived in Washington County, from away, I had few professional connections and knew little about the vast number of innovators, small businesses, and community organizations that supports the growth of Washington County. Through WCLI found that the people of Washington County are resilient, hardworking, and dedicated to this County. Without WCLI I would not have connections with colleagues and the deep understanding of Washington County. As a graduate, I believe in paying it forward to ensure that WCLI is available to the next generation of innovators and leaders.
DANIEL GARDNER
Dean of Students, UMM
Tau Class.
WCLI introduced me to and provided me with hands-on experiences to numerous parts our region that I would not have had the opportunity to experience had I not participated in this program. Through WCLI, I had many wonderful opportunities to listen to and learn from community architects, advocates, and leaders, who have all dedicated themselves to making positive changes to their communities. WCLI was a truly amazing experience and one that will always stick with me.

“WCLI allowed for me to experience Washington County unlike I have before. I have spent my entire life in Washington County and now have a better sense of how the economy does differ from one end to the other. I’ve also been connected with individuals across the county that will assist in connecting community members with the career counseling services available through my organization. I feel more confident in my abilities to connect with other businesses in the area and have a stronger sense of community.”
