Chamber's Leadership San Angelo Application Window Opens

 

The San Angelo Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for its popular Leadership San Angelo program through the month of August. The 2016-2017 program will be the 34th Leadership class. More than 900 individuals have completed the course and are now serving in all areas of community leadership. Thirty individuals will be selected in early September.

Leadership San Angelo is designed to seek out and help develop future leadership for our City by providing intensive training in areas strategic to the city’s well-being. The purpose of the program is to give interested individuals the opportunity to develop their knowledge and to hone the skills of leadership through a planned learning process. Participants will attend a series of ten full-day sessions from October to June. These sessions provide information on the city through lectures, dialogue with community decision-makers, and tours of many facilities. Topics cover the full gamut of city concerns: regional economy, public education, decision-making processes, tools of leadership, cultural and recreational facilities and organizations, social and charitable agencies, government and criminal justice, housing and employment, problems of aging and poverty, and youth concerns – to name a few.

The class is limited to a maximum of 30 participants and candidates must be at least 21 years of age. The cost of the nine-month program is $500, which includes all materials, meals and some transportation. A few partial scholarships are available. Completed applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 2, 2016. For more information or to request an application packet, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 325-655-4136.
