Two important events launch your Leadership Louisville experience. The orientation reception on June 21, 2011 is the first opportunity to meet your classmates. While attendance at this event is not required, we hope you will be able to attend. The second is the overnight Opening Retreat on August 23-24, which is mandatory in its entirety.

Class Participation (please check one box)

I accept this invitation to participate in Leadership Louisville and will attend the Opening Retreat (in Lexington, KY) on August 23-24 in its entirety.

I will not participate in Leadership Louisville this year.

Orientation Reception (please check one box)

I will attend the Tuesday, June 26 orientation reception at the Leadership Louisville Center.

I am not available to attend the orientation.

Attendance, Tuition and Membership Policies

§  Opening Retreat - Development of a successful leadership class takes time and commitment. You must be with us to become a part of the class and the experience. This begins with the Opening Retreat, which is mandatory in its entirety. A last minute conflict with any portion of the retreat will prevent you from participating in the class this year. You may then re-apply next year.

§  Class Attendance - Your attendance during the eight program days (September-April) and the Closing Retreat (May) will be monitored. Two excused absences are allowed. A third absence will require you to petition the Leadership Louisville Center Board of Directors to review your status. Three consecutive absences result in automatic dismissal.

§  Tuition - Program tuition fees are due in full by June 29, 2012. If you are unable to pay in full by the due date we are required to have an authorized credit card on file.

Before the program begins, the Leadership Louisville Center incurs substantial administrative costs related to your admission. No tuition will be refunded for withdrawal or dismissal from the program after July 16, 2011.

§  Change in Status - Your selection into the Leadership Louisville class was based on a variety of criteria, including the company or organization you represent. Should you change employers between the time of your acceptance and the Opening Retreat in August, the Leadership Louisville Center reserves the right to reconsider and rescind, if necessary, your invitation to participate in the program.

§  Commitment as a Member - Your participation in the class is a privilege that carries the responsibility and expectation of continued involvement with us through the form of annual dues and attendance at events. We also hope we can count on your ongoing word-of-mouth support to promote our programs.
