Forty-six local business professionals were recently selected for Class XXXVI of Leadership Edmond, a leadership development program created by the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce. This class is the largest in Leadership Edmond’s history with representatives spanning from some of the largest employers in Edmond to small family-owned businesses.

The nine-session program provides individuals the opportunity to meet community leaders, network with other professionals, and understand the critical issues affecting citizens of Edmond, including economic development and quality of life.

Leadership Edmond also establishes an ongoing source of diverse leaders who are prepared and committed to serving as catalysts and sustainers of positive change for the quality of life in the Edmond area. Class members are selected to represent a broad range of occupations and backgrounds, and the principal goal of the program is to build a resource of community leadership on a planned, continuing basis.

After a two-day retreat, each day-long session covers a specific community topic including city government, education, state government, and volunteerism.
