Introduction By Amy Jennings, executive director, Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute
The Greater Des Moines Leadership Institute’s Community Leadership Program has been educating our community’s caretakers and change-makers for almost 40 years. For most of those years, classes worked on projects that contributed to the betterment of a nonprofit organization or local issue.
