List community activities in which you have participated. These may include activities related to or as an outgrowth of your employer-based profession or organization. List current and past activities separately. For each activity, indicate the nature of your participation, including any leadership positions you held, any special awards/recognition that you received, and the dates of your involvement.

Letters of Recommendation

The Leadership Development Initiative Selection Committee considers letters of recommendation in the application process. We strongly encourage each applicant to submit at least two, but no more than four, letters of recommendation. Successful applications in prior years tend to be accompanied by a letter of recommendation from the applicant’s CEO/head of business unit as well as LPInc. Alumni. A copy of our alumni directory lists can be accessed online here: LP Graduates, LDI Graduates, and CLCV™ Graduates. Recommendations are due to the LPInc. office by 5:00 PM on the First Friday of July. These can be submitted along with your application, emailed to info@lpinc.org, or completed through our online recommendation link here.
