Accepting Applications for the Class of 2009


Imagine having a dialogue about zero tolerance with Sheriff O’Flynn, Chief Moore and District Attorney Green, viewing July ‘64 and talking one on one with people directly affected by the Rochester Riots, participating in Rochester Police Department Ridealongs, serving breakfast in a homeless shelters, and posing a question to Mayor Duffy or County Executive Brooks. At Leadership Rochester you will get a “front seat” view of the critical issues facing our area. You will talk one-on-one with key leaders in the community while sharing “hand on” experiences and networking. Leadership Rochester class members will be able to become more influential in important decisions facing the region.

Participants will gain the following:

  • Knowledge of strategies for adaptive/systemic change
