Chamber Spotlight
 
will hookerAs a part of The Chamber's leadership development, we sponsor a Leadership Bolivar County graduate to The Mississippi Economic Council's Leadership Mississippi Program.
This year we are sponsoring Will Hooker, Bolivar County Administrator, because of Will's important role in the future of Bolivar County.  The Chamber especially recognizes the impact this program can have for him.
Leadership Mississippi's purpose is to identify and work with Mississippi leaders in strengthening our state by focusing on government and public affairs, economic development, environmental resources, health and education and quality of life. By focusing on these five areas, Leadership Mississippi empowers participants with information to make a strong impact in our state.  Sessions begin on Jan. 21, 2009
