What is PLI?


The Powhatan Leadership Institute (PLI) is a program that consists of 15 interactive sessions. These sessions include a bus tour of Powhatan, a day trip to the General Assembly, a dinner with the Powhatan Board of Supervisors/School Board and a Recognition Dinner at the completion of the program.


Most meetings will be held Tuesday evenings from 7:00PM to 9:15PM at various locations throughout the county with networking and refreshments available at 6:30PM. 


The bus tour of Powhatan is both informational and full of history, and includes lunch at one of our local businesses.


The weekday trip to Richmond includes a tour of the state capital, meetings with our local political representatives and time to observe activities in the General Assembly. This trip is enlightening, informative and full of history. Lunch and transportation is provided at no additional charge.


A maximum of 35 non-elected Powhatan County of prospective Powhatan County residents will be accepted on a first come-first served basis. Participants are expected to attend as many sessions as possible, and missing more than three scheduled sessions may result in unsuccessful completion of the course. 


The registration fee is $75 if paid before October 31st, $90 thereafter. There are no additional charges for any of the activities, meals or refreshments.


The Powhatan Leadership institute is dependent upon donations from the community organizations, local area businesses and individuals. Numerous county officials, employees, businesses and organization representatives give their time and talents to make this program a great success.

  • Identifying potential leaders throughout the county
  • Helping cultivate the leadership skills of citizens
  • Encouraging potential leaders to take a more active role in the county

A message from the PLI Executive Committee: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic response, the PLI Executive Committee has decided to cancel the 2021 session of the course. While we remain committed to this resilient community, its citizens, and its leadership, the health and safety of all involved come first. While this is a temporary inconvenience we are going to take advantage of this unprecedented environment to 'Reimagine' PLI by seeking opportunities to enhance the program and refine the curriculum. We look forward to a continued high-quality product that you have come to expect to launch with the 2022 session! We appreciate your understanding during these challenging times and look forward to continuing our mission of educating and inspiring Powhatan County Citizens. Please stay tuned for more information as the year unfolds! As always, we are open to suggestions and feedback, so please share! Looking forward to 2022! Powhatan Leadership Institute Executive Committee
