Leadership Development

LEADERSHIP CHATTOOGA

The purpose of Leadership Chattooga is to provide emerging community leaders with a greater awareness of community issues, needs, services and resources. Equipping our future partners in business, government and community with the tools they need to be effective and successful leaders in their respective fields is the goal of the Chattooga Chamber, and we work diligently to reach that goal each year.

"The Leadership Chattooga program exceeds other leadership programs of counties with a significantly greater amount of resources. "
