Leadership Sanibel-Captiva Class of 2024 set for deep dive into community
/Sanibel, FL – January 1, 2024 –The Leadership Sanibel-Captiva Planning Committee is honored and excited to present the Class of 2024.
The Charitable Foundation of the Islands (CFI) created the program to prepare and encourage the next generation of leaders and volunteers. The inaugural 2022 class was a resounding success, but Hurricane Ian caused a one-year delay for the second class. Nonetheless, the 2024 class features 13 stellar individuals committed to improving the quality of life in our community. Members of the inaugural class served on the planning committee and helped select the 2024 participants.
“The program aims to equip interested residents with in-depth knowledge about the community, preparing them for leadership roles as current leaders retire,” explained Jane Majeski, Planning Committee Chair and Class of 2022 participant. “They will experience five immersion days to gain in-depth knowledge of how the island functions, including briefings on government, environment, arts and culture, business, health and wellness.”
The program begins on January 18 with an opening session and reception led by Porter Goss regarding the Sanibel Plan. It runs through March 14, 2024, culminating with a “graduation” celebration dinner and class feedback session at the Captiva Island Yacht Club.
