LEADERSHIP ACADEMY APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE NOW! | |
 The Valpo Chamber Leadership Academy is looking for the next group to help lead the community to greatness.
Since 2006, the Leadership Academy has led participants through a four-month community leadership program designed to prepare, challenge, and engage emerging and existing leaders to strengthen the community.
During the focused seven-session program, participants will be infused in the community, exploring the public/city government sector, private business sector, and non-profit organizations that currently benefit from local leaders.
Upon completion, students are expected to take the insights, skills, and contacts gained and apply them to community organizations.
To date, over 50 local organizations have benefited from volunteer time from Leadership Academy participants.
The 2012 Leadership Academy is sponsored in part through Valpo Chamber Silver Partnerships with 1st Source Bank, BMO Harris Bank, Burke Costanza and Carberry LLP, Comcast Business Class, Horizon Bank, Laciak Accountancy Group PC, REGIONAL federal credit union, and Uzelac & Associates, Inc.
