McKinney Leadership Training Scholarship
The North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC) encourages a culture of learning, leading and teaching. In doing so, we are pleased to sponsor up to one individual each year to participate in the “Your Leadership Edge” training program offered by the Kansas Leadership Center in Wichita, KS.
The McKinney Leadership Training Scholarship covers the cost of attending the “Your Leadership Edge” training for an individual living and/or working in North Central Kansas (NCRPC 12-county service area) who has shown commitment to improving their community or work place. The award is named in honor of Doug McKinney, who was NCRPC Executive Director for 12 years and passionate about leadership during his 34-year tenure with the organization.
What it Covers
The North Central Regional Planning Commission will sponsor up to one (1) individual per fiscal year (April 1-March 31), pending the availability of funding. The award will cover the “Your Leadership Edge” course tuition, required texts, and reimbursement for up to 2 nights of lodging (if attending the training in person). If chosen, a code will be provided for the recipient to complete online KLC registration for the date of their choice. Visit the Kansas Leadership Center website for a list of available training dates. Receipts for reimbursement for lodging are due within 60 days of the training event.
