The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) has announced the application period for their Leadership Adirondack program for 2024-25. The ARCC Leadership Adirondack program is designed for individuals who demonstrate a potential for community leadership and a sincere commitment, motivation and interest in serving the community in which they live or work.
“We are thrilled to welcome applications for our 2024-25 Leadership Adirondack program,” said ARCC President & CEO Tricia Rogers. “Strong communities are built and sustained by effective local leaders, and our region is a testimony to this. We have seen past Leadership Adirondack participants go on to do great things.”
Leadership Adirondack is a dynamic, interactive program that provides skill development and community immersion experiences that enables participants to grow personally and professionally as they explore issues and opportunities in Warren and Washington counties.
Through a combination of class time and industry tours, Leadership Adirondack develops the leadership potential of participants and builds a solid foundation of informed, action-orientated, productive employees and citizens.
The program previously ran in 2022-23 and consisted of 16 individuals, from varying industries, with an interest in growing their leadership skills and making a difference in their communities. Through leadership training and classroom sessions, to business and industry tours, these individuals dedicated over 16 weeks to their professional growth. Through a very successful community project, this class raised over $23,000 for Family Service Association of Glens Falls, a nonprofit dedicated to providing services and support to families in crisis or in an emergency situation.
For the 2024-25 program, the ARCC has partnered with Brian Rollo, founder of Brian Rollo Consulting, to offer a comprehensive program on leadership development. Rollo, a distinguished graduate of the Leadership Adirondack program, brings two decades of local business and leadership expertise from his tenure at Arrow Financial. Over the past five years, he has successfully helmed his own training, speaking, and coaching company, mentoring and shaping hundreds of leaders. He is also the accomplished author of the book “The 10 Habits of Influential Leaders”.
Applications will be accepted through May 24, 2024. Information on eligibility, application, and program details can be found on the ARCC website: www.adirondackchamber.org/leadership-adirondack
