ABOUT THE ACADEMY
The Wyoming Academy is designed to connect and grow leaders who are building resilient communities in Wyoming. The program includes four in-person sessions across Wyoming highlighting both large and small communities. Participants can also expect personal and professional development opportunities to assist you in moving the ball forward on an idea or project. This program was created through a collaboration between the Wyoming Business Council and Leadership Wyoming. Both organizations will play a significant role in its execution.
