The Shelby County Chamber of Commerce will soon establish the 2014-2015 Class of Leadership Shelby County.  Applications are currently being accepted for a year long program designed to identify potential leaders and develop within these individuals the knowledge, skills and vision necessary to enable them to actively participate in the enhancement of their communities. 

The program brings together a diverse group of 15 men and women, selected from applicants who have been carefully chosen for their degree of involvement in the community and level of commitment to the goals of Leadership Shelby County.  Anyone throughout Shelby County who is interested in community trusteeship may apply.  Participants will meet for one day each month from September to April to study specific topics including education, local and state government, health and human services, economic development, energy, quality of life and history.

Applications must be submitted to the Chamber by Friday, July 11. Applicants will be notified by Friday, August 1 following the selection process, as space is limited. For more information or to have an application sent to you, please contact the Chamber office at (936) 598-3682 or e-mail secretary@shelbycountychamber.com
