LOC is a SUNY Oswego-administered, business-sponsored program that seeks to develop Owego County people to become community leaders.
LOC contends this year’s online format will appeal to busy professionals with its flexible program schedule, including lessons on self-discovery and leadership, panel discussions with local leaders, insights into the county’s strengths and challenges, and the opportunity to develop a “robust” professional network.
Due to coronavirus-pandemic precautions, the class meeting schedule and structure will change. Instead of meeting in person for a full day each month, the class will meet via an online platform for 2 ½ hours each on the second and fourth Wednesday of every month, starting in September.
Tuition for the 2020-21 online LOC class has been reduced to $575 per person for those employed by businesses, and $400 each for those who work for nonprofits. Self-pay applicants with demonstrated financial need can receive a scholarship to further lower costs.
This year’s LOC program will feature a virtual kickoff welcoming the new class on Sept. 2. Classes will run through mid-May 2021 and conclude with a conference-style retreat, as well as a graduation ceremony.
Participants will be required to complete independent reading and self-paced work, research, and assist in the development of a class project outside of regularly scheduled classes.
Individuals with “exceptional leadership potential” are encouraged to submit the online application by Aug. 17.
