GSDC Seeking Nominations For Young Leaders Program

(KNSI) – The Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation is seeking nominations for its Minnesota Young American Leaders Program.

The Greater St. Cloud Development Corporation (GSDC) partnered with the University of Minnesota, GREATER MSP, and the Itasca Project in identifying leaders in our communities to participate in the Harvard Business School’s Young American Leaders Program in Minnesota (MYALP).

According to a press release, the program will bring together cohorts of young leaders from across Minnesota to discuss pressing regional issues and strengthen their leadership capacity and organizational intent to deliver positive outcomes in our communities.

The GSDC took part in the program in 2019 and is asking for help finding young leaders to send to the MYALP program in the Spring of 2022 on the University of Minnesota campus.

Nominations should include the individual’s name, role, resume, and why they should be considered.

Each nominee should be between 25 and 45 years old and have a track record of civic engagement in their city, ideally in cross-sector collaborations for shared prosperity. Nominees also need to have demonstrated experience working across differences such as race, ideology, and sector; be open to new ideas and relationships, bring expertise and perspective to bear, and be willing to debate challenging issues with civility.

Nominations should be submitted by November 15, 2021, to anita.archambeau@outlook.com with “MYALP” in the subject line.
