Interested in Quest?
Are you a mid-career professional who wants to strengthen your leadership skills while also making a meaningful contribution to the community?
Are you looking for ways to support the professional development of employees in your organization? Quest may be the answer!
Quest is a process of self discovery and growth. Participants return to their organizations not only with stronger relational and leadership skills, but with a heightened appreciation for the communities in which they live and work.
 "As I reflect back on my Quest experience, I am in awe at how much we got done and how deeply we covered topics around leadership. I know this experience will continue to reveal more as I grow personally and professionally." - Rico Reyes, Development Associate, Riverfront Recapture, Quest 2016
We are accepting applications now for the 2017 Quest Program that begins in January, but the October 31 application deadline is fast approaching. Please email Julie Connolly at julie.connolly@leadershipgh.org or call 860.206.5069 for more information.
