LeadershipPlenty was first launched in 10 cities throughout the nation, from Providence to Anchorage, and from Baton Rouge to Albuquerque. For three years, the Pew Partnership worked to recruit and train 600 emerging and established leaders. LeadershipPlenty is based on the lessons learned in these diverse communities about how to tackle tough issues their communities face. It is now being offered and implemented in more communities. |
