Leadership Berks

The Core Program is designed to identify emerging and current leaders; train them about good governance practices; provide issues-based community orientation; and engage them as community leaders on local nonprofit boards and committees, in an effort to benefit the Greater Reading area.

The Executive Program is an exclusive “fast-track” community orientation program that introduces key leaders to community-related issues in an intimate, interactive setting. The program provides a backdrop for Berks County’s past, present and future, as well as insights into the systems that drive Berks.

The mission of the alumni council is to foster and expand the personal, professional, and community leadership benefits enjoyed by Alumnus as a result of their Leadership Berks experience and support the ideals of Leadership Berks by assisting with the achievement of the organization’s objectives.

Leadership Berks is a program dedicated to developing, supporting, and connecting community leaders in Berks County. Choose from our Core Program or the Executive Program to enhance your learning experience.
