'Tomorrow' group puts spotlight on boosting leadership

Leadership potential — under the right circumstances — probably exists inside everyone. Terre Haute Tomorrow, a group of civic-minded volunteers hoping to improve the community over the next decade, wants to cultivate those latent leadership skills within the Wabash Valley.

A pair of recent surveys of local leaders found that a strong leadership development program is important to the success of the community. One survey was conducted by Rachel Leslie and Susan Turner of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, the other by Terre Haute Tomorrow's steering committee.

As a result, Terre Haute Tomorrow established "Leadership Development" as one of its five "action teams," — committees within the organization dedicated to specific, high-priority goals. The leadership action team, chaired by B.J. Riley of the Tribune-Star and Tory Fears of the United Way of the Wabash Valley, also includes Leslie, Turner, Dottie King of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Beth Tevlin of the Wabash Valley Community Foundation and Jeanette Winchester, board chairwoman for the Chamber of Commerce.

'Tomorrow' group working to aid city's growth, says Miller

The Tribune-Star's digital town hall gazed into the future Thursday by examining Terre Haute Tomorrow.

Brian Miller, a partner at MillerWhite, a marketing agency, took questions from Tribune-Star staff during a one-hour "town hall" discussion at www.tribstar.com between noon and 1 p.m. He is a spokesman for Terre Haute Tomorrow, a volunteer group of local leaders setting goals to improve the city over the next decade.

Terre Haute Tomorrow unveiled its 40-page "Community Plan" in January. The plan sets tangible goals for improving the city in five areas: image, economic development, workforce readiness, leadership and infrastructure.

Dozens of community leaders from business, education, government and the not-for-profit sector are part of Terre Haute Tomorrow.

Effort hopes to maximize TH's successes, outreach

Before a company or entrepreneur will invest in the Terre Haute community, the city must first be an attractive place in which to live.

That's the guiding reality behind the Terre Haute Tomorrow economic development "action team," one of five teams under the THT label charged with improving the city over the next 10 years.

As with all the teams, the Economic Development crew is charged with setting concrete goals — and then meeting them. THT's leaders have said they do not want their 40-page action blueprint, unveiled last month, to be just another plan that sits idle on a shelf.
