Support leadership development  

NCCCC Community Foundation seeks scholarship funds

 

 "Leadership Clackamas County offered by the N. Clackamas Chamber expanded my communication skills which strengthened my business outreach." 2011 Graduate Kylie Schaefer - CompuPay


Leadership Clackamas County will once again guide 25 local business and public leaders through a journey to strengthen their leadership skills. By engaging with the community, enhancing teamwork and communication, developing understandings of current generational differences, leadership styles while interweaving the roles of government and education in successful leadership, participants will apply practical skills to make important decisions that affect a community.  Participants like Kylie Schaefer with CompuPay remark frequently how LCC grew their abilities, confidence, and outreach which benefited their business.


In these challenging economic times, we need innovative, collaborative leaders.  Many businesses are looking to add jobs but need to stabilize first.  Attending Leadership Clackamas County provides an avenue to develop those skills and help them find solutions to their needs.  Yet financially, it may not be in the cards.  Can you help? 

 

A donation to the North Clackamas County Chamber of Commerce Community Foundation would allow Your Chamber to offer scholarships to leaders who are looking to attend but need assistance to participate.

 
For more information on the Foundation for the purpose of supporting a scholarship, I invite you to call me, Susan Lehr President/CEO at 503.654.7777.  Your contribution would assist our community in developing leaders for stronger businesses and community engagement.

Marylhurst University
Sponsor

A presentation by Jean Ice will be about the choices we make, how our emotions and choices are connected and how they can affect our success and failure in business and in life. We all know that good choices bring good results so why do we make bad choices, when we know better? How do our emotions affect the choices we make? It's very interactive and participation is encouraged. The event is sponsored by Marylhurst University

Don't give in to every grant company 

Seeking grants? Better Business Bureau (BBB) warns that some companies don't deliver promised funds to clients. Complainants - which are mostly business owners - describe the same sad story: companies contacted them regarding "pre-approved" grant money and then convinced them to pay thousands of dollars in upfront fees for application processing or business plan assistance. Ultimately, the companies failed to follow through.
