Congratulations to the Leadership Northeast Class of 2012! They will be celebrating their graduation from the program on May 17th at 11:30 a.m. in the Overland Park Marriott.

The NEJC Chamber’s Leadership Northeast program has a solid history. The first Leadership Northeast class graduated from the program in 1989 and since then the Chamber has helped many community leaders strengthen their skills.

Each of the program’s nine sessions focuses on an area of leadership development. Crucial skills are fostered through various speakers, hands-on experiences, area involvement, meetings with key leaders in the NEJC community, and through working with fellow class members to identify potential solutions.

Each of the sessions are planned not only by Chamber staff, but a dedicated committee who helps us execute the program.  A special thank you to the committee for your time, hard work and great ideas!

 

The following individuals participated on the 2012 LNE committee:

Maddie Breitmayer, Mainstreet Credit Union

Justin Pregont, City of Mission

Mary Vrla-Mohr, Kansas Gas Service

Chris Woody, American Family Insurance

Tim Frenzel, JCCC

Karen Crane, Merriam Visitor’s Bureau

Councilmember Marek Gliniecki, City of Roeland Park

Terry Wintering , SMSD

 

I encourage you to join us on May 17th for the luncheon and graduation and help the NEJC Chamber celebrate this important accomplishment.
