Leadership DeKalb, an adult leadership enhancement program now in its 18th year, is seeking participants for a new class. This program is for individuals who live or work in DeKalb County interested in leading and serving our community in economic development, education, government and the quality of life for the citizens of our beautiful county. Participants will study the county in-depth; strengthen leadership skills; and build a network of fellow leaders through Leadership DeKalb classmates, alumni, presenters, and current leaders in business, services and our community. Leadership DeKalb shapes our county’s future with knowledgeable, effective and active leaders.
Each year, a new class embarks on the year-long program which meets monthly from September to May. Applications will be accepted now through September 4, 2015. Director Jen Sherwood states,“We are looking for leaders who care about making a difference for the future of DeKalb County. If this sounds like you, please consider this invitation to get involved in Leadership DeKalb.” More information about the program can be found at the Smithville-DeKalb County Chamber of Commerce or by calling Jen Sherwood at 615-464-0645.
