Leadership Geauga will host its next Heritage Program for Retirees from April 10 to May 15, 2024. Participants will have the privilege of personal access to community leaders, exclusive behind-the-scenes site tours, and engaging in-depth discussions, all contributing to a profound understanding of the current dynamics of Geauga County. We are already nearing capacity for this program – very exciting! 

Cleveland Leadership Center -- Accelerate brings together those with ideas and those that can connect and support them to make great things happen in Greater Cleveland. The energizing and inspiring evening features:

  • Teen pop-up shops with young entrepreneurs showcasing their goods and services.
  • Art installations by Ingenuity Cleveland
  • And more!

It all happens on February 22, 2024 at the Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland.
