Leadership Institute
In 1990 a major local bank approached Highland with an idea for celebrating, with a gift of some enduring significance, its 100th anniversary. The Highland Leadership Institute was created to develop and sustain a network of local leaders. Alan Wenzel, a Speech Communicator faculty member, was appointed director and in 1991, the first class was named. Each year since then, the Leadership Institute has offered from 20 to 40 community leaders a program of leadership skill building and community awareness.

Jo Daviess Leadership Forum
Citizens of Jo Daviess County approached the college in 2000 with a request to develop a community leadership program in their county. A local Steering Committee was formed, the Highland Foundation provided funding, and in 2001, the program began with a first class of 17 local community leaders. The Forum is dedicated to developing a diverse group of capable and committed leaders.
