Collier County Sheriff’s Office
Community Engagement Chief Stephanie Spell has been selected to participate in
the 2016-17 Annual Class Program of Leadership Florida.
Leadership Florida is a nonprofit
organization founded in 1982 by the Florida Chamber of Commerce. The bedrock of
Leadership Florida is the Annual Class Program. Each year the program
selects Florida’s finest leaders to participate in an eight-month curriculum,
held in six different Florida cities, to learn about statewide topics of
concern and opportunities, while also encouraging interaction among the state’s
leadership. Participants are chosen for their abilities, passion about Florida
and commitment to help make great things happen for the Sunshine State.
Chief Spell is among 56 professional
men and women selected for Leadership Florida’s 35th class that
begins Sept. 14 in Howey-in-the-Hills.
More than 1,000 men and women have
graduated from Leadership Florida and currently serve as chief executive
officers of Florida’s top corporations, mayors of major cities, executives of
pivotal nonprofit groups and leading academicians. They are also farmers,
managers of high-tech consortiums, rural hospital administrators, and directors
of Florida’s largest agencies. They own small businesses and are law
enforcement officers in cities throughout the state. Their commitment to local
and state communities is witnessed through their collective service on more
than 5,000 boards of companies and organizations.
These programs are designed to enhance
the leadership skills required in a multicultural state while stimulating
inquiry and analysis and development of solutions for the public interest.
