Leadership Atmore
Leadership Atmore was founded in 1993 and was modeled after other leadership programs throughout the state.
This program of the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce is designed to identify and develop the leadership potential in the community. Each class brings together individual local leaders and reflects the diversity of the community. This diversity, in both backgrounds and experiences, greatly enhances the “leadership experience” while building a network of informed citizens who share a common bond.
No deadline has been set at this time.
