It's your turn to lead!

 

This chamber sponsored program takes a group of community leaders on a two-year journey of learning all there is to know about the goings-on of the area in which they live, do business, and have fun. During the first year, participants attend a retreat and nine educational sessions, followed by graduation. In the second year, graduates help recruit new participants for the next class, organize some of the functions which newbies will attend, and serve as a resource to the new class members.

The purpose of the Leadership Program is to:
● expand the network of future leaders of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County
● enhance the participants’ knowledge of the structure and operation of local businesses, schools, the

hospital, government, civic and charitable organizations

● introduce the participants to local business owners, educators and school administrators, hospital
management and staff, government officials and the leaders of civic and charitable organizations

● foster a better understanding of local issues and needs

● develop leadership and team building skills
