TUPELO -- Ask 20 business and civic leaders for their definition of community service, and you'll likely receive 20 different answers, given their individual perspectives.
Priorities, concerns and management styles all may vary given diverse educational and professional experiences. Harnessing this potential for the broader community good can be challenging if common goals are left unrecognized--and leadership talents aren't cultivated.
Understanding these commonalities of interests, while providing leadership development tools, is the goal of the Community Leadership Institute, a joint venture of CREATE and the Community-Development Foundation.
