The deadline for the delivery of applications for the 2014-2015 class of Leadership Institute is today (June 2). The program is designed to mold future business leaders through personal and professional development entitled "Leadership Institute". The program will begin in August 2014 with the purpose being to prepare our young professionals while providing valuable tools and resources to develop into future business leaders in our community. 

This program will effectively utilize the resources of the Chamber to develop and enhance the leadership skills of our young professionals with a focus on essential skills for business, community and personal growth. We are excited that this program will feature current community leaders serving as personal and professional mentors with an emphasis on developing the talents and relationships of the participants. 

The program and curriculum was designed after a year of planning by the Chambers Leadership Development Division Committee members. Along with mentor-ship being a major part of the program, the curriculum will provide a genuine and detailed focus on several key leadership skills such as Effective Delegation, Understanding Your Leadership Style, Visioning and Strategic Planning, Effective Networking, Political Savvy, Influence and Negotiation, Image and the Media and much more. Don't miss this opportunity to develop those individuals in your business or organization to be the future leaders in our community.
