Each month (of the nine-month program) the group will attend presentations, tour facilities and interact with representatives from local businesses, non-profit organizations, educational institutions and public offices.
Who Should Apply?
Anyone 21 and older who is interested in expanding your network and gaining deeper insight and access to all that Abilene has to offer.
This program runs one full day, monthly, from September through May. Usually on a Thursday or a Friday. A mandatory orientation and seven out of the nine program days are required to graduate from the program.
Take Away
