It's a must for anyone taking a role in community leadership." Bob Breck, CEO/GM of Nevada County Broadcasters, Class of 2001 "As a local government lawyer, I am familiar with leadership programs, and this is the best I have seen. The collaboration among the Chambers, Sierra College, and the non-profit sector makes for a uniquely valuable program. It was well worth the investment of my time and gave me a good grounding in the County's resources and challenges, introduced me to its leaders, and gave me the tools to get involved. I'd recommend it to anyone who is interested in our County." Michael Colantuono, Auburn City Attorney, Class of 2006 |
