METRO
is excited about a new leadership development program that is designed
to educate transit advocates about transit operations, initiatives and
challenges. The goal of the program is to enhance awareness about
METRO, create partnerships with the community and develop a platform for
transit advocacy efforts in the Houston region. The first class
graduated in March. Attached you will find an application for the next
class scheduled to begin in June. A key component of the program is that participants will take their new knowledge and put it to use by designing individual action plans that they will implement in their community. The next METRO Transit Academy begins Wednesday, June 6, 2012 and will consist of seven (7) weekly evening sessions scheduled from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The class concludes Wednesday, July 25, 2012. If you are interested, applications should be submitted no later than Tuesday, May 15, 2012.
