The Leadership Tri-Cities Alumni Association is accepting proposals for a community project starting December 7, 2020. Proposals will be accepted through January 22, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. PST.

Each Leadership Tri-Cities class is presented with the challenge of completing a “Class Project”, but with no class scheduled for 2020-21, the LTC Alumni will be undertaking a Community Project with the purpose of rallying the alumni to serve the community and address a pressing need of a community service organization.

The LTC Alumni is seeking opportunities to serve our community via the application, review and selection process described below.

All applications will go through a multi-phase approval process, including:
• Proposals will be screened by Leadership Tri-Cities Alumni Community Project Team
o All applicants will be notified on January 29, 2021
• Interviews with top selected applicants will be conducted by February 12, 2021
o The selected project will be announced on February 19, 2021

How will this project serve our community?
• How many families or individuals will be positively impacted by this project?
• How does this project support or provide service across lines of social diversity?
• Is there funding available for the project or will funding need to be raised?
o If funding needs to be raised, estimate how much needs to be raised.
• If LTC does not select this project, is there another avenue for the project to be completed?
