July
27, 2011 - Southport, NC - Leadership Brunswick
County is a program sponsored by Brunswick Community
College and the Southport-Oak Island Area, North
Brunswick and Brunswick County Chambers of Commerce
to develop corps of informed, committed and
qualified individuals capable of providing dynamic
leadership for Brunswick County. It is designed to
identify highly-motivated, emerging leaders and
educate them about the needs of our community, as
well as the dynamics of social and economic changes.
Selection for participants in the program requires
the applicants to already demonstrate a sincere
commitment to serve Brunswick County through
community involvement. Applicants should currently
hold, be retired from, or have the potential to
advance to a management/leadership position.
Applicants must reside and/or work in Brunswick
County and desire to participate in a nine-month
program that promises to challenge and enrich them.
A limited number of leaders/emerging leaders will be
selected to participate in Leadership Brunswick
County. They will meet together one day each month
beginning September 2011 through May 2012 with
existing leaders from business, government and
education, to explore the needs of Brunswick County
and better understand the individuals and services
responsible for meeting those needs. Programs will
include: the history and culture of Brunswick
County, local and state government systems, justice
and law enforcement, education, environment, health
and human services, and economic development.
Applicants must commit to attend the September
orientation retreat plus a minimum of 42 session
hours from the eight sessions in order to graduate
from the program.
Applications must be received from all interested
persons and reviewed by the Selection Committee. The
committee strives to ensure broad demographic
participation with an emphasis on representation
from the geographic areas and professional
categories in the county. Tuition is $350.00 for
Chamber members and $375.00 for non-Chamber members
and is due with the completed application by 4:00 pm
Friday, August 26, 2011. Participants will be
notified of selection no later than September 6,
2011.
We encourage you to participate in this exciting
initiative in our county or sponsor another
leader/emerging leader within your organization.
