Lead Peninsula Visits New Horizons for Education Day!
LEAD Peninsula is a community immersion program, which can best be described as an experience in understanding a community mosaic…the Peninsula mosaic. LEAD Peninsula fosters opportunities for increased communication and cooperation among the private, public and nonprofit sectors. Through a series of initiatives and programs, the LEAD Peninsula program provides opportunities for both recognized and emerging leaders to work collaboratively on issues of importance to the Peninsula community.
Since 1984, LEAD Peninsula (formally Leadership Institute of the Virginia Peninsula) has been introducing its class members to the major facets of the greater Peninsula community through an intensive ten-month program. The LEAD Peninsula members participate in educational sessions, tours, and candid conversations with community leaders. The goal is to provide intellectual and personal connectivity experiences with the various aspects of our community – business, education, public safety, health and human services, environment, local, state and federal government, workforce development, military and federal impact, transportation, infrastructure (water/sewer), etc. The objective of this diverse array of topics is to challenge members to see their community as they never have before and to expand their knowledge on the different aspects that influence their community as a whole.
Since its beginning, LEAD Peninsula has graduated over 1000 diverse and accomplished individuals. While no two participants share completely the same background, all share a commitment to the Virginia Peninsula, influenced by their individual cities and counties as a part of a major economic region. Most importantly, all participants have a desire to take an active role in determining the Peninsula’s future.

CFAAT is working through recertifying as a Veterans Affairs funding partner and with questions, we reached out to a former colleague at Saint Leo University for guidance. Ms. Jennifer Oliver, Associate Director for Newport News Campus, was gracious and invited Mr. Eure and Ms. Fortney over for a tour of their facility, to include their Veterans Only Space, and a working meeting with their VA Benefits Coordinator. This is how amazing partnerships are created!
