The Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for Leadership Wake Forest, a comprehensive program to engage, cultivate and motivate men and women interested in building a strong sustainable community.
Beginning in September, participants meet once a month for nine months to learn about Wake Forest’s history as well as current and future issues facing the town. Information is presented through panel discussions, on-site tours, hands-on activities, simulations, team discussions and Q&A sessions that provide a unique setting to meet local leaders. The program culminates with a group project that benefits the community.
Tuition is $500 for members and $600 for nonmembers. Three scholarships are available. Call the chamber at 919-556-1567 for more details and an application form.
