CLASS PROJECT ARCHIVE

Each Leadership Lawton Fort Sill class is expected to complete a class project to leave something behind that will ultimately benefit our community. The Class Project allows our program participants to take ownership and pride in something they worked on together as a group. The Class Project can be anything. It is entirely up to the class to decide what their Class Project will be. We do ask that a class spokesperson come before the board some time during the class year to present their idea, but it is not a requirement that the board approve the Class Project. Past Class Projects have been as diverse as the class members themselves:
