See who graduated from the 35th Leadership Columbus class
The 35th class of Leadership Columbus graduated Tuesday at Columbus State University’s Cunningham Center for Leadership Development.
The 10-month training program offered by the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce aims to foster and improve new and existing leadership in the Chattahoochee Valley region. That includes helping course participants to understand the community and its “complexities,” the chamber said in a release.
The program includes 10 daylong sessions, volunteer work, riding with a police officer, attending an art event and board of education meeting, taking a ride on a city bus, sitting in at a council meeting, and taking part in community service projects. Those included work with Girls Inc., Children’s Treehouse, Mercy Med, Open Door Community House, and the Literacy Alliance.
Networking also is one of the benefits, said the chamber, which is now taking applications for the 2017-2018 Leadership Columbus class.
