ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP FORUM
Leadership Matters |
|
For 101 years, business, organizational, community, educational, and citizen leaders met on the shores of Lake George at Silver Bay, NY to address the most pressing human and leadership issues of their times. These leaders have come to the Leadership Forum to understand, shape, and deepen the skills required to lead in an increasingly complex and changing world. The disruption from the global pandemic of 2020 created the impetus for our successful move to an online format in our 102nd year. More than ever, the economic, social, and political challenges around the globe continue to underscore one essential truth: Leadership Matters.

|
OUR MISSION |
In its second century, the Leadership Forum Community will build upon its history to continue to connect and nurture leaders through Incubating Leadership.

Incubating leadership is about supporting and connecting in an inclusive community to expand insights and capabilities into action. It is our goal to provide equitable access and reach as many people as possible. For that reason, our online programming is offered at no cost. We are a non-profit organization that relies entirely on membership fees and donations to continue our work.

Our Approach: Incubating Leadership
|
We are a lifelong leadership learning community, connecting individuals and organizations that inspire meaningful change. The Leadership Forum Community democratizes leadership to advance more equitable and human structure, organizations, and cultures.
How can the LFC be a platform for your ongoing leadership development and support you in building more human and equitable structures in work and in the world? Incubating leadership is about connecting and supporting leaders who inspire meaningful change to expand insights in action through: Personal Leadership – Based on the belief that everyone has the burning ember of leadership potential, we are devoted to enhancing everyone’s leadership journey through experiential and innovative learning experiences, mentorship and rejuvenation. Leadership Learning Network - The community provides an intentional network of individuals who are willing to share and nurture ideas around growing expertise in leadership. Through this network the burning ember expands into a growing flame. Leaders from all levels, generations, and across the sectors of corporate, educational, and societal leadership bring together their challenges and ideas to learn from each other and create a network of supportive sharing. Meaningful Change – Working together the community exercises their leadership capabilities to produce ripples of impact by developing and sharing work products that will impact how we lead in the learning and working world in which we live. |

Leadership Forum Community Scholarship Fund

The Leadership Forum Community believes that anyone desiring to further their leadership capabilities should be able to attend our in-person community summit, regardless of one's ability to pay. The Leadership Forum Community, with the generosity of donors, has established a LFC Scholarship Fund to provide opportunities for deserving individuals to become members of the Community and participate in an in-person Community Summit. Past scholarship recipients have added a great deal of spirit, knowledge, experience, and joy to our Community Summit. At the same time, we endeavor to make a difference in their leadership development pathway.
Scholarship donations are accepted from anyone who wishes to further our mission of leadership development. This is an opportunity for those who have reaped the benefits through their own leadership journey to give back.
