Leadership Morris, under the direction of Dr. Joseph Nazzaro, offers participants a unique and exciting opportunity. Beginning with a retreat, during which participants start the process of team building and monthly thereafter, participants attend daylong field trips with seminars on carefully selected, high-priority topics, such as: Economic Development, Criminal Justice, Education, Human Needs & Services, Environment, Media Relations, County Government, State Government and Health Care. The seminars include lectures, panel discussions and small study groups. The program concludes with a Graduation Dinner in November and the opportunity to remain active in the organization through participation in the Leadership Morris Alumni Association.
