Started in 1988, Broome Leadership Institute is a GBEOP sponsored program that draws prospective leaders from a cross section of the community. Its purpose is to stimulate these promising individuals to work more effectively within their own spheres of interest and influence and to expand their civic and community activity. It seeks to foster a network of leaders who are committed to understanding and improving the quality of living in our region.
The BLI Alumni Association acts as a non-partisan forum to further the ideals and goals of the Broome Leadership Institute by engaging its graduates in community leadership education, communication, and opportunities for involvement.
