20 San Rafael Chamber | www.srchamber.com | 415-454-4163 LEADERSHIP The San Rafael Leadership Institute (SRLI) is Marin County's premier leadership development program for professionals seeking to make a difference in their community, expand their network, and understand Marin from the ground up. SRLI has been offering a singular opportunity to develop leadership and team-building skills while learning about current issues that impact Marin County for nearly 30 years. The program brings together many of Marin's policy makers and provides participants the chance to build relationships with key stakeholders in the county. Each full-day, monthly session is held at a different location in and around Marin, exposing participants to local business, community centers and government facilities. The Institute meets once a month from October through June. LEADERSHIP CLASS PROJEC T Each year's class conceives of and carries out a Class Project, an integral component of the SRLI experience. The skills achieved in this group set- ting, which include leadership vision, facilitated debate and decision-making, are geared to as- sist future leaders in mastering collaboration and collective problem-solving. Previous projects have included a homelessness awareness campaign and street clean-up, fundraising for San Rafael first responders, and developing a commuter toolkit for businesses. "I absolutely recommend the San Rafael Leadership Insti- tute. The program proved a great source of knowledge on how the community functions and how we, as a business, can operate more effectively within the community." Steve Fox, EO Products
