If you want to gain a better understanding of our local community-based organizations, educational institutions, governmental entities and business enterprises there is no better place than through the Leadership Canton program.” - Pat Williams, LC Alumni Canton Township Trustee • Community Development “I have worked my entire career in local government, including a number of years with Canton Township. However, I quickly realized that I had a great deal yet to learn about Canton and Leadership Canton provided that opportunity. It was a great experience and well worth the time and expense.” - Deb Bilbrey-Honsowetz, LC Alumni Director of Canton Leisure Services • Education • Challenges of the Future Business and Economic Development • Health and Human Services • Local, County and State Government • Public Safety and the Justice System “The leadership Canton experience really showed me how one person can make a difference.
