    Summer 2013, our Chamber and Partnership for a Sustainable Community expand our Leadership Chapel Hill-Carrboro program to include Executive Leadership, a two-day conference designed to connect participants to our community's movers and shakers and generate meaningful dialogue among panelists and participants about government, education, community challenges, entrepreneurship and economic development.

     

    Participants and their guests meet Sunday, June 9 at the Ackland Art Museum for an evening reception, and begin class at The Carolina Inn Monday, June 10. Program participants move around Chapel Hill and Carrboro Monday and Tuesday, and stay overnight at The Carolina Inn. Check out our detailed schedule below.

     

    Through exchange of ideas and community experiences, Executive Leadership participants begin to develop specific interests in the concerns of our community and emerge equipped with the skills and knowledge to positively affect our communities.
