Coordinated by the college's Office of Business and Community Programs, Leadership Oswego County offers an annual leadership development program that prepares a select group of county residents to become the community stewards of the future. This group embarks on a nine-month course on Oswego County and its resources, vital issues of today and visioning for tomorrow.
