The following is an excerpt from the Times Call article:
A new Longmont-based nonprofit is working to create better communities by empowering the citizens within them.
The School of Statesmanship, Stewardship, and Service was established as a nonprofit earlier this year, co-founded by Longmont community members Mike Butler and Carol Engel-Enright. The school’s curriculum is built around enacting positive change, promoting civil discourse and creating leaders from the ground up.
“Leaders have always been the cause, everybody else has been the effect,” said Butler, a former Longmont Public Safety chief. “…This isn’t just about leaders shifting their way of how they lead. It’s also about shifting the way people in their community respond.”
