Special Edition: James Albright - Director of Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources - Author of the blog Leadership and Main

The why behind Leadership and Main is to inspire a generation of community leaders to make the turn from ordinary to extraordinary. When leaders arrive at that intersection, we want to provide the original and shared content to map his/her turn towards extraordinary. We define community leadership as the ability and willingness to use your influence to better others and the world you live in. Leaders at the community level wield the greatest ability and awesome responsibility to positively influence Main Street America.  Leadership and Main is not intended for those who settle for the status quo, the resistors, the self-seeking, bureaucratic minded, or those that feel the future of their community is decided by anyone other than the leaders who comprise it.  It is solely intended for leaders in local communities who want to selflessly serve and simply make their community a better place to live, work, and play.Leadership and Main is inspired by the incredible leaders in the community of Acworth, Georgia, a special community located in Northwest Georgia.  Acworth is a community comprised of dynamic public servants, elected officials, entrepreneurs, pastors, educators, coaches, civic leaders, and volunteers working tirelessly towards a common vision to build, maintain and improve the standard of quality of life for its people.  Readers should expect original and sometimes shared content delivered to your inbox on Mondays that include strategies for becoming a leader in your community, lessons in community leadership, and stories of the characters that make Acworth such a special place.  Follow our social media platforms for shared content from leaders at the local, national and global level through blogs, articles, podcasts, and videos. https://leadershipandmain.org/https://twitter.com/LeadershipMain
