The Mid-South Delta Leaders (MSDL) program is making a call for qualified applicants, as Class III of MSDL is set to begin in September 2006.
\u201cWe are searching for individuals throughout the 55-county\/parish Delta region of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas who are committed to improving the quality of life in the Delta and have a strong commitment to professional and personal growth and development,\u201d stated Dr. Myrtis Tabb, MSDL Tri-State Leader at Delta State University.<\/SPAN><\/P> MSDL, a tri-state Delta regional leadership development program, is unique because of its three state focus. The program\u2019s tri-state regional mission brings together a diverse group of citizens to enhance the quality of life through human resource development, community development and economic development. <\/SPAN><\/P> Forty-five class members, 15 from each state, will participate in a 16-month curriculum designed to improve their leadership, management and communication skills. MSDL class members range in age from 21- 70 and represent a wide variety of employment sectors, including higher education, K-12 education, government, non-profit, for-profit businesses, faith-based organizations, self-employment and community volunteers. <\/SPAN><\/P> \u201cWe often forget or don’t know how to see value in ourselves. MSDL impacts us economically, educationally and culturally. I have taken what I\u2019ve learned, and I\u2019m working to try to help others to see their importance in making positive changes,\u201d stated a graduate of MSDL.<\/SPAN><\/P> Ultimately, MSDL serves as a forum to share ideas, encourages participants to bring their strengths to collaborative efforts and brings together persons of diverse backgrounds in a variety of programs and experiences, in a non-traditional learning process. <\/SPAN><\/P> \u201cThe MSDL curriculum has long-term effects that extend beyond the 16-month structured program. MSDL takes action by uniting men and women of diverse backgrounds who have the desire to work collectively for the benefit of the entire tri-state Delta,\u201d Christy Montesi, MSDL Tri-State Director offered. <\/SPAN><\/P> MSDL is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation\/Mid-South Delta Initiative through a partnership between leader partner Delta State University, Grambling State University in Louisiana; and Arkansas State University.<\/SPAN><\/P> Applications are due by July 21, 2006.
