Abstract

Leadership development is critical to organizations and communities alike. Worthwhile to such organizations is to sponsor programs and curriculum to support the assertion that individuals with developed leadership skills will benefit the community through contribution and service. This study examined the effectiveness of the Leadership Boca program from the participants’ perspectives. Graduates’ perceptions regarding the usefulness of the program were measured by the researcher facilitating a questionnaire. In addition, the merits for participation and the graduates’ confidence in the program’s ability to meet its commitments were measured. The results from the study indicated graduates’ favorable perceptions of the program meeting its expected outcomes. Research participants reported a strong affiliation with the Boca Raton professional community and an awareness of how participation in the Leadership Boca program benefits employers.
