It’s that time again. Goochland Leadership Enterprise (GLE) is
accepting applicants for its fall class. Since created in the fall of 1996, GLE
had informed and engaged several hundred people. Graduates participate in every
facet of county life from Christmas Mother to the Board of Supervisors. They enhance
the quality of life in Goochland.
In addition to exploring topics that range from Goochland
history to the budget process of local government, GLE participants get to know
a wide range of people from the entire county. This provides insight about the challenges
and opportunities facing the county as a whole.
The GLE program consists of a series of 15 classes held
approximately every other Thursday at 7 p.m. from September through March.
Sessions, which are held at different locations around the county, include a
dinner with the Board of Supervisors, and a visit to the Virginia General Assembly
to meet with our representatives to state government.
The first class is scheduled for September 19. Registration will
remain open until capacity is reached. To sign up or obtain further
information, contact the Goochland Extension office at 556-5841 or visit http://offices.ext.vt.edu/goochland/Gooch_Leadership_Class.html.
The final class is devoted to the exploration of ways to get
involved. Citizen engagement is vital for our form of government to flourish.
GLE provides an interesting and rewarding path to community involvement.
