Leadership Bakersfield

           
Dedicated to promoting and developing dynamic business and community leaders, this unique and versatile program offers an opportunity for participants to become actively involved in the community and gain insight into our area’s challenges and issues while exploring solutions and alternatives. 

           
Once a month, from September through June, participants attend an all-day seminar that includes a combination of lectures, panel discussions and hands-on visits to locations relevant to the day’s theme. Local decision-makers and experts on the topics addressed are invited to share their insights and views. Group discussions give participants an opportunity to express their opinions and interact with the experts and each other.

           
Applications can be printed from the Chamber website and brochures are available at the Chamber office.  Application submission deadline is 5pm on Friday, June 27. For details, e-mail tsterling@bakersfieldchamber.org or call 661-327-4421.

Leadership Bakersfield was a unique opportunity for me to get  a personalized behind-the-scenes look at what makes our county and city work, and what makes it a community.  And the special bonus is that you are in an environment of bright, upbeat, and interesting individuals.
