| The Vann H. Lefcoe Leadership Development Foundation |
The Lefcoe Leadership Foundation and its three-month Leadership Program were founded in 1996 and are named for Portsmouth leader, volunteer and native son, Vann H. Lefcoe, who lost his battle with cancer in 1996. The Foundation's Leadership Program exists to identify, educate and encourage future leaders within the city of Portsmouth. Its twelve weekly meetings feature lectures, small group discussion, reference reading and visits from elected city, state and federal representatives, as well as members of various community organizations and agencies. As of March 2008, 262 adults have successfully completed the program, and over 75% have volunteered to serve on city commissions or community organizations.
