Leadership Clayton

Do you ever wonder… "Why do some counties do more than others?"

Do you ever look around and think… "I wish I had known about that?"

Do you ever ask… "Who is responsible for that?"

If so, now is the time to stop wondering and start acting!

Each year Leadership Clayton engages emerging leaders in a nine-month program that broadens their knowledge of the issues, sharpen their leadership skills, and challenges themselves and others to seek solutions to the issues affecting our communities.

Leadership Clayton's goal is a simple one.

Create an active network of informed, concerned citizens to guide the future of our communities.

Leadership Clayton encourages people to become trustees of their communities, to become leadership resources and to work for the common good by working and learning together to enhance their leadership skills and broaden their knowledge of community issues. Through "hands on" interaction with key county and regional leaders, participants explore the issues affecting our communities and the resources available to address those issues. Leadership Clayton prepares citizens of diverse backgrounds for civic leadership.

Are you ready to "Get In The Game?"

This is YOUR opportunity to get involved in Clayton County, make a difference in our future and meet other community leaders.   

We have closed the application process for the 2009-2010 Leadership Clayton class.  We are accepting nominations for the 2010-2011 class.   Leadership Clayton participants must live or work in Clayton County, demonstrate leadership ability and possess a strong commitment to serve the community. Consideration will also be given to Clayton County Chamber of Commerce members in good standing.   The Leadership Clayton program seeks diversity in the class make-up for representation of a broad cross-section of the community.   The Leadership Clayton Advisory Board reviews and selects the class participants.  A mini-interview session is required of the finalists for the program. 

The 2010-2011 program will begin with a mandatory overnight kick-off retreat/orientation in September 2010.  Classes are a single day each month held on the second or fourth Tuesday starting in October.  A limited number of need-based scholarships are available.  

Space is limited in each year's program.  Download your nominaton form below.  For additional information contact the Chamber at 678-610-4021.
