Study Groups
The class is divided into three Study Groups. At the Opening Retreat each group is given its topic for study and time to set its own meeting places and dates. The topics for study are identified by a committee led by coordinator, Dee Boaz’88. Study Groups offer participants the opportunity to work with a smaller group to learn more about a community issue. Two written reports are required for the Leadership Clarksville office upon completion of the presentation to the Alumni in May.
