Leadership Edmond class marks its graduation
Class XXXVIII graduated earlier this summer. The class voted on a class speaker for the evening and Stacy Bozarth with SAB Consulting was selected to be the class speaker. Dr. Michelle Keylon of Francis Tuttle served as the keynote speaker. The class voted on awards as well. Nancy Williams, Mercy was awarded Class MVP, and Britley Little, Anna’s House was awarded Most Dedicated Edmondite.
The class completed an ten-session program, coordinated by the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce to identify, educate and develop a select group of Edmond citizens for positions of community leadership. Class XXXVIII was presented by Edmond Electric. The retreat sponsor was Sandler Training of Oklahoma, and the session sponsors are Francis Tuttle Technology Center, Mercy and MIDCON.
The program’s principal goal is to build a resource of community leadership on a planned, continuing basis with four specific objectives: to identify potential community leaders; to expand the leadership potential of participants by increasing their knowledge of Edmond and the critical issues that face the community and by exposing participants to present community leaders; to improve communications between present and future leaders; and to provide a channel for those not presently in leadership roles to gain access to positions of community leadership in an informed and responsible manner. The program provides a backstage pass to the Edmond community.
Chris Gray, Willowbrook Construction Services and Will Blanchard, Oklahoma Christian Academy served their second year as co-chairs for the program.
