Congratulations, ad grad!

Although many high school and college students are graduating this month, one L&Ser is, too.

Account Executive Natalie Eisenberg just graduated from Leadership Sioux Falls, a program designed to meet the community’s need for active participation of informed and dedicated community leaders.

Throughout the year-long program, Natalie learned about topics, issues and challenges important to the city and its development over the last 50 years. She visited the Sioux Falls county jail and work release facility (no orange jumpsuit required) and even heard from an undercover drug detective. In other sessions, Nat and her classmates learned about personality profiling and leadership styles, listened to area leaders in business, politics and non-profit organizations and heard about the importance of LEED certified building at one of the city’s greenest structures, Cherapa Place.

Leadership Sioux Falls is one of more than 1,000 community leadership programs in the United States. Each year, its curriculum is developed with the idea of creating an integrated, total experience for participants. The topics change as the issues, challenges and opportunities of the community change. However, all sessions are designed to be interactive and thought provoking.

We’re proud to have a recent grad in Natalie. Hats off!
