Who’ll lead the community in 10 years? Who’ll run the company in 15? What experience will school board members of tomorrow have and will they be qualified to lead? Will they know leadership and will they have visionary leadership experience? If so, who taught them?
Perhaps it was learned through Leadership Elk City, a program of the Elk City Chamber of Commerce.
Some comments from recent graduates of Leadership Elk City are: “I would definitely recommend this experience.” Another: “… was awesome,” and finally, “Leadership Elk City really gave me a feeling of fulfillment.”
One of the Leadership Elk City organizers, Jim Mason with the city of Elk City says his committee, the Leadership Committee of the Elk City Chamber of Commerce is organizing its next leadership class and is accepting applications from nominees.
Mason says through the sessions, selected adult participants will receive an intensive examination of the Western Oklahoma area, how it’s developed and what drives it.
Many graduates, he says, call the experience “life changing.”
The class is open to any adult with Elk City ties, either living or working in Elk City. Only 15 participants will be selected to join this distinguished program, but Mason says, hurry, because class size is limited, the application process competitive and the deadline is very soon.
The deadline for applications is Friday, January 29 at 5 pm at the Chamber office.
