What do you have in common with these Medina Area leaders?
All of these leaders attended a Leadership Medina County (LMC) program. LMC is our community’s most trusted resource for leadership development, civic engagement, and professional development. For 30 years, the learning and network we offer has enabled over one thousand leaders to be the change they want to see in the world.
We offer an unmatched array of leadership programming to meet the unique needs of this community. Our programs are designed to inspire, challenge and connect business and civic leaders, from all career stages and backgrounds.
From high school through retirement, LMC offers four leadership programs: Junior Leadership, The LEAD Institute, Signature Program, and Legacy Leaders. If you are looking for an opportunity to learn about your community and improve your leadership acumen, these programs are for you.

"I highly recommend Leadership Medina County’s Signature Program for high performing and/or high potential employees. Participants broaden self awareness, leadership and communication skills in addition to strengthening their network connections with other community leaders."
Dr. Richard Shewbridge
Signature Class of 2019

“Leadership Medina County, with its collaborative approach to learning, connecting, and working on community projects, gets the best out of its participants. This collaboration throughout the months-long process helps forge long-term community-based relationships which will benefit future civic endeavors. Learning about, observing, and exercising different leadership styles is definitely a value-added part of the experience.”
Diana Riley
Signature Class of 2005
Manager of Community Affairs and Corporate Events, RPM International Inc.
"Leadership Medina County has provided for me and my colleagues that have gone through the program more awareness that in the workplace, there are many different personalities and how to work together despite the differences. In order to develop a good and productive team, whether working on a project or interacting one-on-one, we must realize each person’s strength (and weaknesses) and best utilize their strengths. This results in not only a harmonious work environment and a positive business relationship, but also allows the manager to encourage and support their subordinates and possibly mentor them as future leaders as well."
