Ottumwa Leadership Academy
is primarily a community awareness organization dedicated to educate individuals who desire to deepen their knowledge of challenges and opportunities facing our community while developing and refining their leadership skills.
Our program begins with a 2-day overnight retreat designed to allow participants to get to know each other and lay the foundational knowledge to prepare them for the year ahead.
The retreat is followed by monthly programs designed to focus on the community. Curriculum sessions involve key people who are involved in the session topic (i.e. Education Day: Superintendent of Ottumwa and Cardinal Schools, teachers, principals).
