Build strong relationships to lead and serve the Decatur/Macon County community
Experience a behind-the-scenes look at community government, business and municipalities

"DLI was a wonderful experience that provided numerous working contacts, as well as information on the community to help shift how we talk about Decatur. I was born and raised in Macon County and I learned so many things our community has to offer that I was never aware of, so now I have a fresh perspective to share!" ~Molly Tenuto, Dove Inc., DLI Class of 2023.

Program participants attend 14 once-a-week sessions, typically on Thursday mornings from 6:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., where they experience on-site learning and gain an inside view of the industries and issues that shape our region.
