Leadership Class Set

Have you recently moved to the community? Do you work in Jasper County? Do you have an employee that is new to the community? Are you interested in becoming more involved or would you like to take on a leadership role? How about becoming active in our community or meeting other community leaders?

Looking for cultural diversity and opening new doors? Then Leadership Jasper 2017 wants you says Pam Mayer, president of the Monticello-Jasper County Chamber of Commerce (COC).

Leadership Jasper 2017 is a program with a purpose. It is designed to help leaders and potential leaders develop leadership skills required to improve the local conditions for economic development within communities.

Communities utilizing these basic principles of success help create an environment of shared vision by bringing together diverse groups of individuals who exhibit enthusiasm and motivation, said Mrs. Mayer of the Leadership Class. This leadership structure can ultimately attract all kinds of positive outcomes for a community.

Leadership Jasper 2017 is part of a comprehensive plan to involve citizens, leaders and future leaders in the process of development decisions and governance. Together, understanding the roles of leadership and the interaction between entities can become an influential and strong component factoring in improving the quality of life in our county.

The session series is slated to begin with a reception prior to the Monticello-Jasper County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2017 with meetings following on the fourth Tuesday of each month for six months from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Graduation will be June 2, 2017.

Tuition is $85 per applicant. Applications are available at the Monticello-Jasper County Chamber of Commerce or online at www.jaspercountycoc.com.
