Oceanside Leadership Academy Continues to Receive Rave Reviews

In April, the Chamber launched its inaugural Oceanside Leadership Academy (OLA) with a sell-out first cohort of 32 participants. The program kicked off with an all-star panel of community leaders sharing their leadership philosophies, insight as to how they have led their teams during challenging times and how they approach leadership on a day-to-day basis. Follow-up sessions include a look at leadership in the military, municipal government, STEM fields, healthcare, tourism and hospitality, the non-profit sector and in entrepreneurship. The program concludes on June 15th with a civic engagement panel discussion and a graduation ceremony.

“We are excited to see such a high level of interest in our program. We filled our first cohort with very little marketing, and we look forward to making Oceanside Leadership Academy a staple of Chamber programming for years to come”, said Chamber CEO, Scott Ashton. “We are surveying our participants after every session and the feedback has been incredibly positive”.

Due to a high level of interest

OLA will be repeated this fall, with the kickoff session on Saturday, September 9th. Applications are available at www. OceansideLeadershipAcademy.com.
