A Greater Muhlenberg Chamber of Commerce Program for Professionals and Citizens Desiring to Make an Impact

What is Leadership Muhlenberg?
Leadership Muhlenberg is a unique training program to develop tomorrow's leaders today. It broadens individuals' experiences by acquainting them with area businesses, civic organizations and local government activities. The participants are provided access to many resources that cannot be gained elsewhere.

The program contains one meeting per month for a nine month commitment. Each of these days will contain lectures, discussions, tours, role-playing activities and team projects to educate the class on each topic.

One of the greatest benefits is to allow emerging leaders to acquaint themselves with one another and with the community's current business and civic organizations.
