application.
If chosen for the 2011
class, you are responsible to pay a class registration
fee of $100 .
You are also responsible for all travel
expenses incurred to attend the class sessions. As an optional class
activity, class members are invited to travel to Washington D.C. to attend the
annual national meeting of all leadership series organizations. The Series pays for the cost
of your meals and the national meeting registration. Lodging and transportation
are each individual’s responsibility. Participation in the trip is
strongly encouraged.
All

The selection committee reserves the right to choose program
participants based upon basic selection criteria. Preference, however, will be
given to those candidates who the selection committee feels will
most likely utilize their leadership skills and gained political
training in the public arena.
An effort is made to insure that each class represents the
diversity of the Kansas community. Notification of your
acceptance status will be provided in November.
