Thanks to Kate and Josh Harris of In The Round Design Group, Leadership Stark County will award a Signature Program full scholarship for a young entrepreneur or small business owner.
As a small business owner, I’ve used Leadership Stark County’s programs as a development tool for myself and my team. The Signature Program had a significant impact on me – even though I’d grown up in Stark County. Most of our new employees go through both the Spotlight Stark County program for younger professionals and the one-day Encounter Bus Tour to give them community context and networking opportunities.”

Small business owners are encouraged to apply to the Signature Program and apply for tuition assistance. Scholarships are awarded to selected candidates based upon the tuition assistance application.
