Civic leadership requires an attitude of curiosity, a focus on learning, and a skill set to effectively mobilize people to work together on tough civic challenges. Since 2007, the Kansas Leadership Center (KLC) has been equipping individuals, organizations, and communities with the skills and collective capacities to make progress on tough civic challenges. Through our practice and research, we have built a wealth of knowledge and expertise about the skills needed for effective leadership in civic life, and how to build peopleâs capacity to learn and use those skills. Dr. Jason Bosch, KLC Director of Curriculum Innovation, will introduce participants to KLC's leadership framework and share examples of how KLC has partnered with institutions around the country to build capacity for civic leadership, from the student body to the president's office.
