The Hancock Leadership program is now accepting applications for the 2021-2022 class.

Hancock Leadership, a program of the Findlay•Hancock County Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the Hancock Leadership Alumni Association, is a nationally-recognized nine- month seminar program designed to develop and cultivate people with a passion to serve our community through a dynamic learning experience that encourages self-discovery, fosters relationships and inspires stewardship. Participants will make connections with other class members and gain increased knowledge about the Findlay-Hancock County community.

Since its beginning in 1985, over 1,000 area leaders have graduated from Hancock Leadership, representing over 500 area businesses and/or service organizations.

The program launches in August followed by one full-day session per month, and holds a graduation ceremony in May. Many important local topics are covered, including Local History, Agriculture, Arts and Media, Education, Public Safety, and others. These sessions are held on Tuesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at various locations throughout the county. Class members are also required to take part in a service project that requires participation outside of regular class time. Hancock Leadership utilizes a Positive Leadership curriculum. The curriculum provides a rich experience for participants to grow together through lively group discussion and personal development activities.

Arrangements for tuition payment can be made with a participant’s employer and/or sponsoring organization. A limited number of scholarships are available to applicants who require financial assistance.
