The curriculum for the 2001-02 leadership program consisted ofpresentations, discussions, and field
trips emphasizing local and regional government, infrastructure, public policy and decision making,
public education, business and industry, and public safety. Participants also were required to
complete several assignments and attend Council, Commission, or non-profit board meetings. The
Leadership Los Gatos program concluded in June 2002 and included a special graduation ceremony
for the participants.
DISCUSSION:
The following includes an assessment of the 2001-02 Leadership Los Gatos program based on
participant feedback and evaluations and a brief overview regarding recruitment efforts for 2002-03
Leadership Los Gatos.
Assessment of 2001-02 Leadership Los Gatos Program
Upon the completion of the 2001-02 Leadership Los Gatos program, the Chamber of Commerce and
Town staff conducted a "debrief' session with the participants which included an evaluation of all
sessions, presenters, field trips, and assignments. Participants also provide several meaningful
suggestions to further enhance next year's program and discussed how the program benefitted the
community.
Overall, the participants described the program as a very valuable experience, providing a well-
balanced view of the community and a friendly, informative, and interactive explanation of Town
government and its services and the public policy decision making process. More specifically, the
Leadership Los Gatos program graduates stated the following regarding the value of the leadership
program:
• Making people more civic minded and making them aware of the impact community
decisions have on their lives.
•
Builds higher connectivity to Los Gatos and more informed citizenship. I feel I have a much
better perspective around the challenges facing city government.
The program did a great job in raising my level of awareness to local/regional government
and how it works. Provided more depth on issues we all know exist but don't understand
completely.
• A place to start learning, understanding the interconnection of government and local social

issues here in Los Gatos.
• The best part was visibility into the community and its functions. The value is an
opportunity for each to identify how their skills might assist the community.
• Improved awareness of why decisions are made and the process involved to make them. The
best part is creating my interest in involvement in my community.
• I learned so much about Los Gatos and town government in general. I can't imagine how
else I would have gathered all the valuable information I learned in this program.
• Leadership Los Gatos gave us a firm grounding and shows what possibilities are available
to volunteers. It's up to us now to help the community.
2002-02 Leadership Los Gatos Recruitment Status
Recruitment for Leadership Los Gatos is currently underway. The Chamber of Commerce has
received 13 applications for the 2002-03 leadership program and continues to receive inquiries daily.
As with last year, the Leadership Los Gatos brochure (Attachment No. 1) is available at the Chamber
of Commerce and at all Town facilities. The brochure is also accessible from the Town and
Chamber web sites.
The deadline for leadership applications is September 6, 2002. It is anticipated that the program will
begin in October 2002 and end in June 2003. Staff and Chamber representatives have already met
to discuss the 2002-03 program and plan to incorporate some of the suggestions made by the alumni
leadership class.
CONCLUSION:
Based on comments and feedback from the inaugural Leadership Los Gatos class, the program was
significant in that it created an informed and participatory citizenry that is seeking to become more
involved in the community. More importantly, the leadership alumni class is considered a resource
tool for Town staff and has provided staff valuable insight regarding Town programs and/or projects.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The FY 2002-03 Annual Operating Budget provides $100,000 to fund the Town's service contract
with the Chamber of Commerce. Up to $15,000 of the $100,000 has been allocated for the
leadership program. The leadership program tuition fee of $250 per participant is collected by the
Chamber and is used to cover additional expenses.
It is expected that the leadership tuition fee will remain at $250 per participant. For those whose
cannot afford the program tuition fee, scholarships may be available through the Chamber of
