Focus PROGRAMS

Leadership Rhode Island offers the Core Program to leaders in their fields, bringing together a broad cross-section of acknowledged leaders from every corner of the community. Our Focus Programs use the Core Program as a model, applied to a specific population and purpose.  These programs share similar frameworks, and they are designed specifically for specific people, such as women, executives new to the state, classroom teachers, retirees, or professionals in a specific industry.
