THE SHOALS – The Shoals Chamber of Commerce is proud to open applications for the distinguished Leadership Shoals program, class 33, launching in September 2022. The mission of Leadership Shoals is to bolster the pool of growth-minded leaders who encourage pro-business decision making and promote collaboration across our region.
Leadership Shoals has been redesigned to elevate the development opportunities for established leaders in The Shoals. With a strategic partnership with the University of North Alabama, Leadership Shoals participants will have the chance to experience more intensive leadership and professional development, along with increasing awareness of entrepreneurship resources and The Shoals culture.
“We are really excited for our leaders in The Shoals to experience this new Leadership Shoals program. We have worked diligently to present an intentional, useful program that benefits the individual, the organization, and the community by creating the clear division between emerging leaders and established leaders in our community. Participants in Leadership Shoals will now experience a deeper network of relationships and be encouraged to critically think about problems and priorities in The Shoals to continue our community’s progress.”– Olivia Bradford, Director of Communications & Events
This six-month course will consist of monthly sessions where leaders will participate in leadership intensives, networking breaks, and learn about history, culture, politics, education, and economic develop in The Shoals.
