LOCK HAVEN — The first session for the 2021-2022 Leadership Clinton County program was held this month at the Annie Halenbake Ross Library. In addition to a tour of the library, participants learned how to effectively manage a meeting and understand different board responsibilities; they were introduced to proper techniques of public speaking; and learned the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion while serving on boards and committees.
