Background

Policy Leaders Academy

The program consists of two-three day economic bus tours of Maine and two separate policy forums. The program is designed for legislators only. This creates a focused learning environment of their colleagues that allows for open and frank discussions of the issues.

The curriculum is built around the Measures of Growth report. This is a report of the Maine Economic Growth Council prepared by the Maine Development Foundation. The data-driven report contains performance measures and benchmarks for achieving Maine’s long-term economic goals.
