Reno + Sparks Chamber offers two new leadership programs

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. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by Jan. 12. Email asilver@thechambernv.org with questions.

In collaboration with VISTAGE Worldwide, the chamber will also offer the “Executive Leadership Training” program, designed for CEOs, chief operating officers, and other C-suite executives. This program, led by Krisztina Kohlhaas, is open to all, regardless of Chamber membership.

This unique program aims to enhance collaboration and alignment toward organizational goals. It will be conducted at the Reno + Sparks Chamber of Commerce.

The course will feature expert presenters from around the country, all affiliated and approved by VISTAGE, the world’s leading CEO peer advisory organization. For a fee of $5,500 per person, participants will also receive one year of VISTAGE membership, granting access to valuable resources, publications, and online learning. Key topics covered include self-awareness, executive presence, accountability, communication, team management, and customer focus.
