Never doubt that a group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
 Indeed it's the only thing that ever has.  Margaret Mead

Based on this program’s commitment to creating a diverse mix of participants, generally no more than two people from any one company or organization will be selected for the same class.

Applications can be carried over for consideration the following year. Since this program requires a considerable time commitment, approval from the candidate’s employer to take the necessary time
of 10-12 days during the year from work is requested.

  • Membership or interest in the Chamber of Commerce is not a prerequisite for acceptance
  • Ideal candidates want to get involved in their community. They are looking for information about the community and leadership skills that will help them determine where to focus their energies.
    They may already be serving on boards or commissions and in leadership roles, or they may just be starting their leadership pathway.
  • Common qualities of leadership candidates are a commitment to personal and professional growth, an attitude of service to their community, and a willingness to view community issues from a broad perspective.
