UPDATED CENTURIONS CANDIDATE INTERVIEW SIGN UPS – READ CAREFULLY
Due to changes to the Centurions program to accommodate the extraordinary circumstances caused by COVID-19, including extending the application deadline to July 1, Centurions candidate interviews will now take place July 6-17. If you had previously signed up to interview during the original interview timeframe, please disregard the June 8-19 interview dates as nothing further is needed. Interviewer spaces have been reduced and limited spots are available. In the event of in-person interviews, this minimizes the number of people gathering and allows for social distancing. Additional details will be emailed out closer to the time of interviews, including Zoom information and interview protocol if we move to virtual interviews. These details will be sent to all interviewers in your group and will include required questions, instructions on parking, arrival time, and conference room (or Zoom) information, as well as more specific information about applicants you will be interviewing.
Be prepared to interview as few as one or as many as five applicants during your selected time slot and stick around following the completion of interviews to debrief with KC Chamber staff. If you need to cancel at any time, please provide at least one week's notice so that we can replace your spot with another interviewer. Don’t forget to hold your time on your calendar.
Ready to sign-up? There are limited timeslots available for actives so sign-up for ONE slot as soon as you can here >> Interview slots are limited, and once all fall actives have been given the opportunity to sign-up to interview, any remaining timeslots will be open for people to take multiple shifts. If you are a graduating second-year, please still sign up under “Active.”

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - RETREAT RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 24-26
Exciting news! Rain or shine, virtual or in-person, the show must go on. We have confirmed that the Spring Cohort will kick off this year on Wednesday, June 24 through Friday, June 26.
In times of great change it takes great leaders to show the way. We, Centurions, have the unique opportunity to demonstrate how to lead in our communities through unprecedented times. As we look ahead to the next year, the only certainty that we have is that we will continue to experience tremendous change in our work lives, home lives and social lives in the months to come. Therefore, we (your retreat planning committee) are taking a whole new approach to the classic Centurions Retreat and creating a virtual experience you won’t forget. While we’re sad to miss our time at The Elms, we guarantee to make retreat meaningful, memorable and keeping in the traditions of the program in a radical new format!
THE LATEST AND GREATEST FROM YOUR COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE
Even during a pandemic, the Spring Community Leadership Committee is committed to providing access and insight. We're coming up with creative ways for you to engage with regional leaders, and learn more about yourself as a leader - including a biweekly personality or development quiz. Share your results, get to know your fellow Spring classmates, and join the conversation! Check out our Learn.Serve.Lead page.
