Leadership Haywood County accepting applications

The Leadership Haywood County Board of Directors is currently accepting applications for the 2012-2013 class. The program, which is sponsored by the Brownsville-Haywood County Chamber of Commerce, is designed to heighten the awareness of community leaders, workers, and volunteers about the community’s strengths, weaknesses and opportunities.

For eight months, class members will learn about economic development, law enforcement, local government and infrastructure, healthcare and social services, quality of life, education and local and state government issues. Graduates of the program join more than 200 Leadership alumni to work together to make a better Brownsville and Haywood County.

Applications may be picked up at the Chamber of Commerce office at 121 West Main Street, or download here. The deadline to submit an application is August 10. Classes generally meet one day per month. Tuition is $400. A $50 deposit is required with the application and is applied to tuition or refunded if not selected. Upon acceptance to the program, tuition must be paid in full no later than August 23.
