Carroll accepted into Leadership Palm Beach County Engage program
Janell Carroll, marketing manager at the IEECE and adjunct professor in PBSC’s Bachelor
of Applied Science in Supervision and Management program, is one of 56 professionals
accepted into the Leadership Palm Beach County 2019-20 Leadership Engage program.
LPBC’s Leadership Engage is a highly competitive 10-month program that offers participants
a powerful new network and a transformative learning experience with the intent to
better Palm Beach County.
Participants, who come from diverse industries and backgrounds, will gain a deeper
understanding of their own leadership styles as well as understand the ways in which
they can make significant improvements in the community.
Carroll, a current Ph.D. student in Florida Atlantic University’s Department of Educational
Leadership and Research Methodology, says “Establishing relationships and collaborating
with other local leaders will help me to further develop and fine tune my leadership
skills and create alliances to be an effective change agent in Palm Beach County.
Simultaneously, I will be able to communicate and model the College’s values of being
transformational, conscientious and optimistic, while reaffirming dynamic, seamless
partnerships.”
The class members were selected for their leadership and service in their professional
and civic lives. They will meet as a group for one full day each month, from September
to May, and travel on a bus to all areas of the county, exploring program topics such
as agriculture, education, public safety and health care. They will also break up
into smaller groups to do community engagement projects, benefiting local nonprofits
and aimed at tackling challenges facing the region.
Leadership Engage is the flagship program for LPBC. It unites leaders to improve Palm Beach County
and deepens their civic commitment and awareness of diverse issues and industries.
