The Newton Development Corporation is collaborating with the Jasper County Economic Development Corporation and DMACC to offer the Jasper County Leader Development Class again in 2013. 

Evelyn George will teach six of the eight sessions and Buzz Hoffman a certified “Real Colors” instructor will teach the Colors classes.

The class will meet each Tuesday evening for two hours from Feb. 19 through April 16. No class will be held the week of March 19. Tuition is $219, and the Jasper Community Foundation will reimburse half of the tuition cost for eligible participants who successfully complete the program. Individuals must live or work in Jasper County to be able to enroll in the leader development class.
