Opportunity Tallahassee

Opportunity Tallahassee is an intensive, one-day overview of our community. The program is designed to acquaint participants with the physical, social, economic and educational structure of Tallahassee. In addition to meeting and networking with some of the area's key decision makers, Opportunity Tallahassee participants will be given contacts and resources which will enable them to become more effectively involved in community issues.

"I enjoyed myself tremendously and even though I've lived here for 43 years, I learned so much about my community." Spring 2007 Opportunity Tallahassee participant

Who Should Attend?

The program is targeted at corporate executives, managers and other professionals who may be new to the community and want to know more about the area - with a minimum expenditure of time. It is valuable especially for leaders or potential leaders in the community whose professional commitments have precluded participation in the more time-intensive Leadership Tallahassee program.

Curriculum

Designed by members of Leadership Tallahassee, the comprehensive curriculum focuses on Tallahassee's history, culture, government, education and economic development. Participants will have a chance to meet with government officials, visit local cultural landmarks and developing areas, and examine the area's educational and economic communities.

Detailed itineraries will be sent to each participant prior to the program day.
