The
Washington County Leadership Institute was formed in 1997 as
part of a partnership between the University of Maine at Machias
(UMM) and the Sunrise County Economic Council (SCEC) to help
Washington County residents develop the skills to become
effective and involved participants in their community.
WCLI runs from January to April of every
year and brings together a diverse range of people in small
business, finance, education, service industries, health care,
the nonprofit world and local or municipal government. Since its
inception, WCLI has graduated 240 alumni.
Since 2002, WCLI has been administered
exclusively by the Sunrise County Economic Council. For more
information about the course, and how you can participate,
please contact Jennifer Peters
(WCLI Coordinator) at
