You gain concrete connections. Connections to leadership, to Golden governmental entities, to the challenges in our community, to our history, and to each other as a leadership class. ~ Cindy Vail Weisrock, Class of 2022

I loved the Leadership Golden experience. I was able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of Golden government. After this experience I was offered a Board Position on the Golden Civic Foundation Board. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to be more involved in our town.
