Criteria:

Leadership Moore accepts approximately 20 individuals after the application review process. Applicants must live and/or work in the Moore area. A conscious effort is made to select participants who represent a cross-section of the community in terms of experience and occupation to build a diverse class with various backgrounds.

IDEAL CANDIDATES SHOULD EXHIBIT

Ideal Candidates:

Participants are selected by a committee based on the information submitted in their application and interview. The committee seeks diversity in regard to age, gender, education, employment sector, professional experience, interests and talents with preference given to individuals who:

Are dedicated to personal and professional growth.
Have participated in past community and professional activities.
A strong interest in serving as a leader for our community.
Intend to remain in and serve the Moore area.
Are able to attend all sessions and program events.

While this is a leadership program, you do not need to hold a current leadership position in your company.

REQUIRED

Required:

You MUST be able to attend the Orientation.
Attend ALL sessions. We have provided you with the dates well in advance as a courtesy to you and we expect the same courtesy in holding these dates. When you are gone, not only are you missed, but you do not get the full program experience. You are allowed to miss one session. Any additional absences will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Repeated absences will result in termination from the program. There is no substitute for your presence at the LM sessions.
Be fully engaged at sessions. This means resisting the temptation to check phones while actively engaged in session activities. We do provide plenty of breaks during the day.
Connect with your classmates. Place a level of accountability on yourself to get to know everyone in the class. The program is greatly enhanced when classmates connect with each other. Graduates of LM will tell you they developed lasting friendships and business relationships that have continued well beyond program completion.
Respond to post-session surveys. The success of this program is crucial to your feedback.
Maintain a professional demeanor. The Chamber has the right to dismiss participants in the case of behavior that is deemed unprofessional.
Have fun! We value a positive attitude and the LM planning committee is dedicated to providing participants with a fun, memorable and impactful experience.
