IMPACT San Diego participants will be selected from individuals who submit completed applications and participate in a personal interview. LEAD San Diego’s IMPACT Selection Committee will seek to identify those most likely to demonstrate leadership abilities for the long-term benefit to our region.

To be accepted into IMPACT SAN DIEGO, applicants must:

• Have demonstrated positions of leadership in their employment and/or volunteer organization.
• Display evidence of mature judgment and exceptional leadership qualities.
• Have demonstrated a strong interest in and commitment to the community through significant voluntary leadership roles in community organizations.
• Be qualified to utilize their leadership skills through community service for the long-term benefit of the community.
• Have obvious potential for growing personally and effecting change.
• Be willing to commit the time and energy necessary to complete the program.

 Other considerations:

• We strive to include participants from the entire San Diego/Northern Baja California region.
• We seek a class that reflects the diversity of the San Diego/Northern Baja California region.
• We seek representatives from business, government, non-profit and volunteer sectors.
• Tenure in San Diego will be considered. However, potential to impact San Diego now and in the future is more important. Community service in other communities is considered in the selection process.    

Due to restricted capacity and need for diverse composition of classes, many qualified candidates may not be chosen for inclusion in any given year. Individuals are strongly encouraged to re-apply in subsequent years.
