    • EXCEL, an EXperience in Community Enterprise and Leadership, is a process for community leadership rather than a prepackaged program. What distinguishes EXCEL from other approaches to leadership development is its high degree of flexibility, local control, inclusiveness, and focus on the future of community governance. Communities investing in an EXCEL program can expect to see new and younger people running for public office, more involvement in community activities and organizations, improved community appearance, and boards and commissions functioning more smoothly. A community should allow 6 to 12 months for planning and organizing an EXCEL program. Ongoing support and assistance is provided by a local University Extension specialist or another technical assistance provider. Membership is limited to about 30 participants per class to ensure that an active and effective learning experience occurs. The program budget is developed by a steering committee. Funding usually comes from fees--generally $100-300 per participant--and/or scholarships from local firms, government, and organizations. A handbook, “Community Leadership Development: The EXCEL Approach,” extensive website and training for extension specialists provides program guidance. Learning objectives: Develop community strategies to help participants improve their ability to work with groups; discover what influences community politics; recognize the impact of cultural and socio-economic values on the community; develop and implement action plans; and participate in community decision-making processes.
