Vision

The Carmel Leadership Day, hosted by the Carmel Rotary and in conjunction with the Carmel Fire Department, Carmel Parks and Recreation, Carmel-Clay Schools, and iTeam, provides a forum to engage with local leaders from both the private and public sector and grow your professional and personal leadership skills while having a positive impact on the next generation of leaders within our community.

Mission

To maximize the Carmel Rotary's impact by creating a visible and exciting program to enhance civic awareness and strengthen community leadership.

Overview

The Carmel Leadership day offers a dynamic lineup of keynote speakers and panelists, in addition to a valuable opportunity to connect with other area business leaders. Participants will inspire and connect with local high school students eager to learn how local companies have a positive impact on their communities through giving back and how they can become involved through community leadership.

Additional highlights include Lunch with a Leader, group activities allowing participants to meaningfully network in smaller more intimate groups. Opportunities abound in our information center area, as there will be time to leisurely browse area charities at their own booth, inquiring about the ones that hold your interest.

Lunch with a Leader

An intimate setting provides opportunity to have small-table discussions with a local leader during this designated lunch hour. Each table will host a limited number of seats for a more beneficial interaction with the leader, along with a table moderator. Each leader is someone with local ties to our community who has a heart for service. This is a valuable opportunity to connect with other professionals looking to extend their own fabric of connectivity and philanthropy.

Leadership in Action

Principles taught during the day will be demonstrated in a joint service project between the Carmel Rotary, the Carmel Fire Department and Carmel High School students on October 29.

Participants will come together for a civic project, performing community service along the Monon Trail.
