Our new class is underway. Learn more about the format and welcome this year's class members:Leadership Corvallis’ Class of 2022 has started a 10-month exploration of the inner workings of the city of Corvallis and Benton County.Twenty-seven local residents are taking an active role in shaping community policy by participating in this program, which is being offered in a hybrid format with some activities online and others in person while abiding by COVID-19 public health guidelines.Starting in September, participants began learning about the processes, agencies, institutions and people behind them that make Corvallis function and thrive.“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to change Leadership Corvallis, but we are excited to begin resuming some in-person activities this year,” said Leadership Corvallis Board President Nicole Jenkins. “Each class day will focus on a crucial element of our community, building upon the previous sessions to paint the big picture of what makes Corvallis a unique place to live, work and lead.”The class meets the second Thursday of each month. Morning class activities occur virtually via Zoom and afternoon sessions occur in-person at locations throughout the Corvallis area that allow for a socially distanced experience.The hybrid format provides the class opportunities to interact with leaders across the Corvallis community and gain a deeper understanding of the local businesses, government, social services, arts, education and natural resources that make Corvallis a top community in the country to live and work in.Sessions include a mix of panel interviews, group discussion, small-group breakout chats and tours of locations throughout the community. Session content includes elements designed to help emerging leaders understand and navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and engage in the evolving conversation around racial justice, diversity and equity in the community.Curriculum for each day is developed and presented by community leaders who volunteer to share their professional insights to inspire the next generation of leaders in Corvallis.Residents interested in taking part in future Leadership Corvallis classes should reach out to Chris Nordyke, Leadership Corvallis recruitment committee chair, at chris.nordyke@gmail.com.The Leadership Corvallis Class of 2022 includes:Marissa Alderman, Samaritan Health ServicesChase AndrewsCatherine Biscoe, Oregon Department of Transportation Dannielle Brown, Benton County Health ServicesSimon Date, Corvallis Chamber of CommerceErika DeMonner Kelly Donegan, retired Oregon State UniversityRyan Eaton, Corvallis Police DepartmentJoel Gustafson, Oregon State UniversityVeronica Hennessey, Farmers InsuranceJimbo Ivy, Majestic Theater, City of CorvallisLisa Kaufmann, Benton Community FoundationSussanne Maleki, Corvallis Structural BalanceBen Matheny, Columbia Financial Advisors, Inc.
