“As CEO of a large non-profit, I see BRLI as a way to connect staff to the Greater Bangor communities that we serve. By sharing with classmates and hearing about the issues that affect our area, they become better employees with a clearer sense of what the Bangor Y can and does do to promote the health and wellness in Spirit, Mind & Body.”

"The Bangor Region Leadership Institute introduced me to the Bangor community in a whole new way. The experience made me much more aware of the great reasons to live here, furthered my desire to contribute to the community, and made me never want to leave!"

"Since I have been taking part in BRLI I have found it tremendously rewarding. The connections I have made, both with my classmates and presenters, are relationships I'll carry with me wherever life takes me, and that's a nice feeling. So far the experience is everything I had hoped for and more!"

"I came to the Leadership Institute as a relative newcomer to the region, so the site visits and diverse range of presenters gave me a valuable perspective on the Bangor Region. I also learned to work effectively in teams, which is something I do on the job every day. Highly recommended!"

"Working within the healthcare field kept my focus within that business milieu. BRLI provides the means to increase my networking "mix" and offer a more indepth range of information about my community. It's truly been one of the best experiences I've had as a professional. And, the real bonus is that I continue to benefit from the BRLI program through the lifelong friends I've made and its Alumni Association social and educational events."
- Diane Nelson, Class of 1998
