With protestors filling streets across the nation, COVID-19 spreading through communities and the economy in upheaval, leadership skills are in high demand, a Roaring Fork Leadership (RFL) spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur philosophy is everybody is a leader,\u201d said Andrea Palm-Porter, the RFL executive director. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be an executive. A leader might just be somebody who embraces the courage needed to put their idea on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 1988, the nonprofit organization provides the Roaring Fork Valley with leadership training courses tailored to the participants strengths and needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always need leaders to solve community problems, but those problems are on steroids because of COVID-19,\u201d Palm-Porter explained. \u201cIf there are more resilient leaders in a community, they are able to stay in a state of calm and are better prepared to collaborate, communicate and problem solve.\u201d<\/p>\n
