The Beattyville Lee County Chamber of Commerce, Estill County Chamber of Commerce and Powell County Kiwanis Club is pleased to announce an upcoming program to benefit our communities. Leadership LEAP (Lee, Estill and Powell) is a eight month class, made up of people from our three communities, which aims to expand the network of potential future leaders of our counties; enhance participants’ knowledge of the structure and operation of local businesses, schools, healthcare providers, government, civic and charitable organizations; introduce the participants to local business owners, educators and school administrators, healthcare providers and staff, government officials and the leaders of civic and charitable organizations; foster a better understanding of local issues and needs; and develop leadership and team building skills.
The program includes two overnight trips and eight day-long sessions between January and October. All meals and accommodations will be included. Tuition is $200.00, which may be paid by participants or a sponsor/employer. A limited number of scholarships are available, so all interested people are encouraged to apply.
Leadership LEAP is meant for those who want to be more involved in improving our community. Class size is limited and applications are due December 31, 2010. Interested parties should contact the Chamber office at 723-2450 or crawford@irvineonline.net with questions or to receive an application. Leadership LEAP is brought to you through a partnership between the Beattyville Lee County Chamber of Commerce, Estill Development Alliance, Estill County Chamber of Commerce, and the Powell County Kiwanis Club.
