The Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational will partner with the LPGA Foundation to bring their LPGA Leadership Academy to Michigan this summer to help develop the next generation of female leaders through a blend of golf and business skills.
The two-day LPGA Leadership Academy engages teenage girls in golf and provides them with the framework to develop their confidence, communication, and leadership skills. With activities on and off the course, attendees discover their unique strengths through group exercises, expert-led discussions, journaling, and interactions with female executives.
The dates are June 21 – 22, 2021 at Bucks Run Golf Club in Mt. Pleasant. A unique aspect of the program is an interactive female leadership panel discussion.
Several Dow women executives will share their college and career journeys and openly engage in answering questions from the participants.
The LPGA Leadership Academy uses the game of golf as a platform and learning tool to:
- Teach girls how to become better decision makers
- Overcome and let go of setbacks
- Take calculated risks and embrace opportunities
- Develop skills to accomplish specific goals
- Play their own game and find their own voice
The Academy will host 40 selected girls ages 13 – 18 at no cost to applicants who have been accepted. Sign up at: https://info.bucksrun.com/blog/bucks-run-hosts-lpga-leadership-academy-2021
