Now accepting nominations for the 2015 Leadership Wichita class

Leadership is a word that we hear a lot these days. But what does it really mean and how do we develop it? It takes leaders with significant skills working together to address the issues facing our community. And for more than 30 years, the Chamber’s Leadership Wichita program has been working to identify, cultivate and inspire those emerging leaders. Members of the 2014 class participate in team building exercises. We are now accepting nominations for our 2015 Leadership Wichita class. The program’s eight sessions cover topics ranging from education and workforce development, working with the media and economic development. In addition, skills such as collaboration, consensus building, and visioning will be explored through real-life examples and group exercises. See the full list of topics in 2015 program brochure. If you know someone who has a background of active community involvement and would be a good candidate for this year’s Leadership Wichita class, please nominate them at wichitachamber.org/Leadership. Important Dates:

• Nominations due – June 19
• Applications due – July 1
• Selection announced – July 31
• First session – September 3
