All Leadership College scholars agree to design and implement a project to address an important issue that will benefit the scholar's local society or specialty society, the state society, or to improve the health of their local community. Scholars and their local or specialty society leadership and staff work together on the projects in order to foster their relationship. Projects may serve as models in other local societies or specialty societies.
