WHAT IS LEADERSHIP NORTHSHORE? |
As St. Tammany grows and the community becomes more complex and demanding, there is an increasing need to train responsible and informed leaders. LEADERSHIP NORTHSHORE is an innovative program sponsored by The East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce to assist in preparing emerging community leaders for leadership positions in local government, business and community affairs. The program is directed by a Board of Trustees of community leaders. The purpose is to provide a forum for, and increase, the awareness of potential leaders by giving them an intense course which encompasses a broad scope of community concerns. |
