Leaders' Council

 View our Fall 2009 newsletter here!

The purpose of Leaders’ Council is to bring together leaders of various student organizations to promote student leadership development at Ohio Northern University by:

• Providing leadership resources to campus leaders.
• Serving as an advisory board to the Offices of Greek Life, Student Activities, and Leadership Development.
• Coordinating with the Office of Greek Life, Student Activities and Leadership, organizational and individual leadership programs. 

The council was formed in 2002 as an outcome of a University-leadership taskforce with the intention to promote leadership development at Ohio Northern University. Since then, Leaders’ Council has brought many leadership programs to campus, from leadership speakers like Steve Gilliland and Joseph Williams to organizational workshops that target group communication and membership development. Leaders' Council also hosts the Annual Networking Dinner as a means to facilitate cooperation across various student organizations. Furthermore, with the addition of The Leadership Experience this past year, Leaders’ Council now offers individual leadership development workshops open to all students. The council is continuously expanding both aspects of organizational and individual leadership development, offering newer workshops and developing more innovative leadership programs.

In addition to organizing general workshops and seminars for students, Leaders’ Council also partners with student organizations on an individual basis. Whether it is organizing a leadership seminar or facilitating a goal-setting and planning session, Leaders’ Council will work closely with your group in determining topics that specifically target your organization’s need.
