Since 1990, Leadership Mountain View (LMV) has been an important training ground for community leaders. Each year up to 32 participants are selected to attend the 9 full days and one half day seminar (9 months total) that make up the Leadership Mountain View course.
"The more people understand what other people do, the better off we all are."
- Kevin Duggan, City Manager, Mountain View
How does city government work? How does Mountain View fit into the regional picture? What are the important issues facing the local education ad public safety systems? What are the needs in our area's safety net of health and human services? How can citizens make a difference?
"LMV hard-wires us into the Mountain View community."
- Terence Pagaduan, Government Relations Specialist, NASA
Each class highlights a Leadership Skill through the eyes of a Community theme. It is with the collaboration of these two concepts: Leadership and Community that Leadership Mountain View provides knowledge of the community, enables relationships between people and organizations and builds leadership skills.
The LMV graduating class of 2009 produced, directed and edited a video, inspired by our program called Green Tips: 10 Simple Tips to Going Green in Your Home.
This video recently won 1st place in the Instructional Training category at the national Alliance for Community Media Awards!
"LMV lets all of us work better together."
