WHAT IS LEADERSHIP
ATMORE?
Leadership Atmore is a program designed to develop the leadership potential
in our community. This program, which is modeled after similar leadership
development programs in the state, is sponsored by the Atmore Area Chamber
of Commerce. It is self sustained through tuition, scholarships and
corporate support and is governed by the Chamber's Board of Directors and
a steering committee drawn from the community at large.
Leadership Atmore brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds and
experiences who have a demonstrated talent and commitment for leadership.
Through this program, these individuals have an opportunity to become
more aware of the dynamics of the social and economic changes which impact
our community.
Through the face to face discussions with present leaders and experts from
organizations and institutions that help to form the structure of our community,
these specially selected individuals develop an in depth understanding of
the current scene.
Through planned interactive experiences during eight day-long seminars, the
participants broaden their communication and problem solving skills. These
learning experiences form the basis for a distinctive group indentity unlike
any existing development program.
