INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. – Washoe County is hosting its annual leadership program designed specifically for residents of the Incline Village/Crystal Bay community, which launched last year. This free, three day, summit-style program will address the issues and opportunities unique to north Lake Tahoe.
The class of 2026 will have the opportunity to increase their professional and personal network with fellow community leaders across the county, while learning how local county government works.
This program is a collaborative effort by Washoe County, University of Nevada, Reno Extension, and the Incline Village Crystal Bay Community & Business Association.
The Washoe Tahoe Academy is open to Incline Village/Crystal Bay residents only, and participants must be able to commit to attending all three days of the program, which will take place from 9 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. each day, from Wednesday, September 23 through Friday, September 25. The sessions highlight topics including conflict resolution, collaboration skills, what the local organizations are and how they work together to create a functioning community, the development planning process, board and volunteer opportunities and community involvement, responsible tourism and lake stewardship, and fire and emergency management. The Academy concludes with a graduation ceremony.
