What is LHC?
Leadership Hardin County (LHC) is an annual nine-month program, providing a unique opportunity for interested citizens to learn about the needs and resources of their community. The program is sharply focused on concerns and capabilities of our ever-changing and growing communities. Through lectures, presentations, practical exercises, visitations, independent study and meetings with key community leaders, class members will examine the community’s organizational structure and associated City, County, State and National resources available to assist the community in meeting the needs of residents.
The class will be challenged to develop and implement a community project which solidifies the bond between classmates while making Hardin County a better place to live, work, and play.
