Leadership Indian River County

Leadership Indian River County is a community leadership program offered by the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce. The 7-session training program brings together a cross-section of the community, representing our social, economic and geographic diverse population for a hands-on, multi-disciplinary study of our community. Participants will gain an introduction to the infrastructure, natural resources and current political issues of Indian River County and an understanding of what constitutes leadership.

The program is based on a model that incorporates nourishing and developing community leaders: building community knowledge, developing leadership skills, and gaining an understanding of community stewardship. The program will prepare participants for more active involvement in public and private sectors and civic responsibility creating a better informed and vigorous leadership with a greater understanding of county needs- now and in the future.

Leadership Indian River County is now accepting applications for 2011.

Indian River County Community Leaders Summits

Since late 2007, the Chamber has hosted Community Leaders Summits several times each year by bringing together the leaders of Indian River County. Through the efforts of those attending Community Leaders Summits, a variety of economic development initiatives have moved forward at the county level.

Community Leaders Summits provide a great venue for our leaders to discuss and plan the priorities that will meet the future needs of our county and will drive actions in the coming years. Some of those actions are driven by the Chamber, while some may be driven by other organizations or by our government leaders.
