Opinion: Chamber thankful for help with leadership program

To the community,

Lake Tahoe South Shore Chamber of Commerce and the Leadership Lake Tahoe Task Force would like to offer a special thank you to Aston’s Lakeland Village for providing transportation and meeting space for this year’s Leadership Lake Tahoe class.

Leadership Lake Tahoe lasts through June 2012. Twenty-five students are taking part in an intensive 10-month experiential program to provide information, strategies, contacts, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Program topics cover key leadership issues and

skills including leadership orientation, public safety, economic development/redevelopment, government (Nevada and California, city and county), media/communication, environment/transportation, health care, social services/community resources, education, and tourism. Additionally, participants will take part in small group projects that will benefit the community.
