The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for participation in the 2014-15 class of Leadership Bay County.

Leadership Bay County aims to provide the knowledge and motivation needed to lead our community through politics, business and non-profit organizations.

Leadership Bay County appeals to people of diverse backgrounds who have an interest in the future of our community.

The nine-month curriculum is designed to help participants examine our community?s agriculture, history, education, economy, government, human needs and services, law enforcement, natural resources, arts and culture, and provides leadership skills training. Participants have the unique opportunity to discuss the most critical aspects of our community with those who are personally involved.

Participants are also challenged to develop leadership skills and contribute to our community by selecting and completing a class project.

Since the program began in 1987, an average of 25 people graduate yearly from Leadership Bay County and many are serving in leadership capacities throughout the community.
