The Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce is offering two transformative programs, dedicated to leadership growth, collaboration and fostering an in-depth view of community opportunities and challenges.
The chamber’s annual “Leadership Class” program is tailored for emerging leaders and takes place on the second Wednesday of each month, starting on Feb. 7 and concluding on June 12, culminating in a graduation celebration. Each session runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is held at the chamber.
This program provides participants with insights into areas such as education, economic development, travel and tourism, criminal justice, workforce development, local and state government, and public safety and health. Distinguished senior leaders, elected officials, and community influencers will deliver presentations and engage in meaningful interactions with the class.
The class is limited to 20 participants, who must be employed by dues-affiliated chamber members. The cost is $1,500 per person and includes breakfast, lunch, materials, speakers, snacks, and a graduation event featuring engraved plaques. Applications will be available until Jan. 2.
