The Chautauqua Leadership Network, Class of 2022 officially got underway with a two-day development retreat at the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel on Feb. 18 and 19. The event marks the return of the program after a year long pause due to the pandemic.

Class participation is the highest in the organization’s near 30 year history as leadership skills are in demand among our county’s business, government, educational, and non-profit segments.

The cohort will continue to meet each month during the year to further competencies in self-awareness, team building, creativity, communication, asset discovery, organization skills, developing others, ethics, leading change, social intelligence, and networking.

CLN is a volunteer based non-profit whose goal is to provide a continual supply of persons trained in leadership which is above and beyond the training they have in their chosen professions. Since 1993 over 500 local leaders have passed through the Chautauqua Leadership Network leadership development program.

The Chautauqua Leadership Network has also created a robust network which enriches each member and the resources of our county as a whole.
