The annual Leadership Greater Concord initiative, which introduces area professionals to the workings of the capital region, is accepting applications for the 2027 class. Participants embark on a nine-month immersion into the community and connect with business and civic leaders involved in decisions about the future of Greater Concord. The program includes interactive session days that cover public resources and governance. Participants gain experience across various regional aspects including history, arts, culture, education, housing, government, criminal justice, economic development, media, and health and human services. Applicants from any industry or sector can apply online by May 3 at the Glounde.
