Leadership Vance Session Schedule: See our Online Calendar of Events HERE

The Chamber is now accepting applications for the Leadership Vance Class of 2009. Interested professionals who live or work in Vance County are invited to apply.

A maximum of 25 individuals will be chosen to participate and will be selected to represent all backgrounds, occupations and geographic areas of Vance County.

Leadership Vance is designed to create a group of informed and dedicated leaders who will contribute to the community.

Recent program graduate Jon Dorsey highly recommends the program. "Leadership Vance is a wonderful way for people new to the area, as well as Henderson natives to learn more about our community," he said.

The program will begin in early February and conclude in June. The cost of the 10-session program is $395 for Chamber members and includes all expenses, meals and materials. Non-Chamber members are welcome to participate at a rate of $470.

The program is organized by topic, and participants will be exposed to various aspects of Henderson and Vance County, specifically in regard to city and county government, health and community resources, economic development, agriculture and natural resources, history, media, criminal justice and law.

Deadline for registration will be Friday, January 16. For more information, contact Rachel Hedrick at the Chamber at 438-8414 or by e-mailing her at membership@hendersonvance.org.
