Leadership Coachella Valley was formed and seed funded in 1999 by six of the Chambers of Commerce in the Coachella Valley (Cathedral City, Indio, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and Rancho Mirage). The mason the leaders of these Chambers initiated the Program was because of their concern that many individuals seeking leadership positions on local non-profit boards, school boards, planning commissions, and city councils lacked leadership skills and a broad -based knowledge of the Valley. The Leadership Coachella Valley Program has addressed this concern as it was designed to identify, develop, and motivate potential community leaders for the Coachella Valley. Identified and/or interested individuals apply for admittance to the Program in June and July. Typically, about 35 individuals are admitted to the program each August, based on their demonstrated leadership potential, long-term commitment to the Coachella Valley, and articulated community service orientation. Then, once per month from September through June, these participants attend an all - day seminar. During these seminars, leadership skills are developed and community issues are reviewed and discussed. The format includes a combination of presentations, panel discussions, hands-on visits to locales relevant to the day's theme, and cases/projects. Experts share their insights and views and interact with the participants. SEP - 5 2006 CITY OF PALM DESERT CITY MANAG2R Page 2 Community issues covered in the ten months include, but are not limited to: government, law enforcement, healthcare, economic drivers, education, housing, transportation, and the environment. Since the inception of the LCV Program, about 200 participants have graduated from the class. They are owners of businesses and professional firms and employees of local agencies, businesses, professional firms, and non-profit organizations, who are already making a positive impact on the Coachella Valley by serving on committees, commissions, boards, etc. The benefit to local jurisdictions is that these individuals now are better prepared and more motivated to serve the citizens of this community. If the City of Palm Desert ever has experienced times when it has needed citizens to serve on committees or commissions but could find none (i.e., possible candidates lacked leadership skills, knowledge or understanding of community issues, or interest in serving the community), this Program is important to you. The LCV respectfully requests that the Palm Desert City Council and City Manager consider our request for a $5,000 sponsorship or any sponsorship amount you believe appropriate. Besides funding support, your City's participation is expected to increase awareness of the Program and inspire other organizations to become sponsors. Please visit our Web site at www.leadershipcv.orq for more information on the organization, including specifics on sponsorship levels and benefits. I as well as other members of the LCV Board and Susie Harvey (President/CEO of the Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce and Administrator of the Program) are available to the City to discuss the benefits of participating in the Program and the significant positive impact it is having on the quality of life in your City and the Coachella Valley. Please contact me at 200-0045. Thank you!
