Leadership Jackson is a program made up of business professionals in the community who are selected to be a part of the year-long program through an application process. Participants become a "class" who will graduate and receive a graduation certificate at the completion of the program.

 

The Leadership Jackson program includes monthly sessions in which participants meet and interact with community leaders discussing education, public safety, economic development, tourism, health and human services, growth within a community and other important topics.

 

The Jackson County Area Chamber of Commerce strives to develop leaders.

Upon graduating the program, participants have gained the skills to use towards helping the community, their employers and themselves for the better. Throughout the program, participants are exposed to many of the vital parts of what makes a community successful.
