The next class of future community leaders recently kicked off a nine-month program as part of the Habersham Chamber of Commerce Leadership Habersham/Youth Leadership Habersham program.
The adult leadership program, launched in 1990, is designed to cultivate community leaders by providing opportunities to review various community and governmental issues, tour business and industry, and gain leadership and problem-solving skills through experiential learning.
Now in its 31st year, the program has expanded to include select seniors as part of the Youth Leadership Habersham Class.
The combined class includes 25 adults and 24 students.
The University of Georgia’s Fanning Institute conducted the kickoff program to the combined class on September 15th with a session on multigenerational leadership.
The Leadership Habersham program will meet each month through May, and the students will join them for four of these sessions.
