The Calhoun County Economic Development Corporation is proud to announce the launch of Leadership Calhoun—a dynamic, local issue-awareness and leadership development program designed for current and emerging leaders in Calhoun County, Iowa.

This initiative aligns with Priority #3: Community Development and Capacity Building from our 2024 Calhoun County Economic Development Strategic Plan—shaped by the input and collaboration of 18 dedicated community leaders.

Leadership Calhoun will bring together 12 to 16 diverse adult professionals beginning in October 2025 for a series of nine, one-day, monthly sessions across the county. These sessions will offer participants a deep dive into a variety of key topics impacting our region, including:

The goal of this program is to educate, inspire, and connect a network of informed leaders—individuals who are eager to make a difference locally and statewide, and who are committed to building a brighter future for all Iowans.

Participants will engage through presentations, group discussions, hands-on activities, facility tours, and conversations with area leaders. Additionally, the class will collaborate on a community service project of their choosing.
