LEADERSHIP POLK ALUMNI
Leadership Polk Alumni is committed to connecting and engaging alumni for the
advancement of Polk County through learning opportunities, potential service
projects and social events.

“Leadership Polk is about creating and building relationships with other leaders in the
region, immersing yourself in Polk County’s unique assets, and learning more about yourself,
your peers and the place we all call home. In a nutshell, Leadership Polk is about each of us
and how we can work collaboratively to engage and grow as we enhance Polk County and
its future.”
– Donna Sheehan, City of Winter Haven, Class IV
“Leadership Polk’s program takes a holistic look at all the municipalities, assets and
challenges facing our beloved county. My classmates were a crucial part of the experience as
we came away with new friends and a better understanding of the power of collaboration.”
– Callie Neslund, Mosaic, Class VII
