Leadership Carson City

1989-2012
23rd ANNIVERSARY CLASS
FACT SHEET

Carson City Leadership Institute is one of the premier programs operated by the Carson City Area Chamber of Commerce. The first class graduated in 1989 and the program has been a success ever since. When looking through a roster of graduates, you will see familiar names, many of whom have gone on to public office or taken jobs that keep them in the public eye.

The program is designed to provide you with a detailed understanding of the inner workings of the various public and private elements that make Carson City unique.

The sessions are conducted by experienced community and state leaders and are held at a variety of locations designed to expose the participants to the many facilities and resources available in the Carson City area. Leadership is 80 hours of learning, camaraderie, and fun. It offers an intimate look at the city we call home. Over 300 people have graduated from this great experience.

Your commitment as a program participant is to attend all the sessions during this nine-month series of seminars. Each participant is required to attend the opening 2-day retreat with mandatory overnight in January plus the 8 full-day seminars, the second Thursday of each month, through October and the Graduation Ceremony. An unexcused absence may be cause for dismissal from the program. In addition, the participants will participate in a community class project.

The program cost is $1250 per participant ($975 for Chamber members), which includes tuition, materials, meals, transportation, room and board at the overnight retreat, the graduation ceremony and plaque. Application must be submitted with a $250 deposit and received at the Carson City Chamber of Commerce no later than 4:30 p.m., Friday, November 9, 2011.   Full tuition is due by Friday, December 16, 2011.

We know budgets are tight and the norm for planning ahead has become considerably shorter; however, we need to know whether you will be joining us this year for yet another great Leadership Institute put together by your Chamber.

If attending Leadership Institute is not in your budget for FY 2011, we can accept payment in January prior to the start of the class. Just send in your deposit today. Please contact today if you need this option.

The future of Carson City will be in the hands of the leaders who graduate from this program. We hope you decide to participate.  Click below for more information:
