Bighorn Leadership Development Program

Program

New leaders with new ideas keep policy and politics fresh and exciting.  Yet, effective leaders don’t just take root by themselves; they must be trained, informed, and nurtured.

Rural Health 2008 Panel

"The Bighorn Leadership Development Program is the single-most effective program I’ve participated in for public policy and leadership."
- Deirdre Sullivan, Health Educator, Larimer County

Since 2001, the non-partisan Bighorn Leadership Development Program has offered its participants an opportunity to become involved in the issues that face Colorado, and has supplied almost 300 Coloradans with the tools they need to run for public office, develop public policy, or engage in community activism. Graduates have gone on to become Colorado legislators, school board members, county commissioners, city council members, and leaders of community organizations.
