Leadership Attala

LEADERSHIP ATTALA, sponsored by the Kosciusko Attala Development Corporation, is a program designed to identify and train adults with leadership skills.

This program will permit each participant the opportunity to increase his or her knowledge and understanding of the complex business, political, and social factors that contribute to the well-being of our area.

The participants will work together in a seven-month training course which combines individual study, group sessions, and actual project experience in using leadership skills.

Approximately 15 participants from throughout Attala County will be selected biannually on the basis of leadership potential and their demonstrated interest in the area.
