Leadership Russell County

​

Leadership Russell County, sponsored by the Russell County Chamber of Commerce, is a proactive series of field trips designed to expose current and emerging leaders to Russell County’s greatest challenges and opportunities. The program was developed to build a network of informed, capable, and willing leaders to guide this county’s future and share a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.

​

The six-month intensive program begins in August with half-day sessions scheduled on the fourth Wednesday each month with the exception of December. Half-day sessions begin at 11:30 AM with a networking luncheon and conclude generally by 4:00 PM. A graduation celebration will be held at the conclusion of the program in April. 

​

Leadership Russell County addresses topics including tourism, economic development, industry, government/public services, agriculture, healthcare, education, and youth opportunities. Programs are held at various locations throughout Russell County, providing participants an opportunity to view some of our community’s unique facilities.
