Leadership Program

Purpose & Mission

St. Petersburg’s most important asset is its people. Citizen participation and active neighborhoods have improved the quality of life in our city. As we meet the challenges of today’s urban community, citizens and neighborhoods play an important role in preserving what is best about our city. Neighborhood leadership is essential.

The CONA Neighborhood Leadership Program has been developed to ensure that St. Petersburg has a continuing base of knowledgeable and talented people ready to step into Leadership positions.

Objectives

  • Broaden potential neighborhood leaders’ understanding of the community
  • Expand the pool of skilled neighborhood leaders
  • Encourage the establishment of networks among neighborhood leaders
  • Enhance the ability of neighborhoods to resolve problems on their own or in cooperation with other neighborhoods and/or institutions
  • Introduce participants to decision-makers in our City and County governments, and throughout our community
