2. Please accompany your application with the formal nomination form. (If you are the senior ranking person in your company, you need not fill out a nomination form. The nomination form is our way of assuring your company will provide the work release time and fulfill the tuition requirements.) You may access the Nomination Form by clicking here.

3. We are still accepting applications for the 2009 Leadership Class; applicants will be contacted shortly thereafter to schedule their interviews; class selection and notification of acceptance will be finalized by mid-December.
4. Tuition for the 2009 program is $6,650 and is billed to applicants or their sponsoring organizations upon acceptance in the program. Partial scholarships are available to applicants/sponsoring organizations with financial need (see page 3 of application.) A request for scholarship funds will neither positively nor negatively impact your eligibility in the program. The GBC Leadership is committed to not letting tuition serve as an obstacle for appropriate candidates to participate in the program.
