In an effort to develop future community leaders in the region, the Chamber established the Leadership Main Line program in 2002.
Leadership Main Line provides an intensive six-month curriculum that involves the participants in learning experiences designed to enhance the infrastructure of the Main Line. Graduates benefit personally and professionally, but the big winner is the community as more qualified leaders are developed.
Dear Readers,
The following was a recount of the adventures of my classmates and mine in 2008’s Leadership Main Line class of the Main Line Chamber. When I signed up for the program, I had no idea what it entailed. While I did some research prior to beginning to make sure I was well-suited to the program and it was well-suited to me, I had no idea the amount of information, insight, and contacts that has improved my life not only as a Main Line business owner, a member of the Chamber, but as a person.
I wrote generally about the program to document (paperless) the journey we went through to come up with the idea of Going Green for the Chamber and the processes and different paths we went down in order to develop a cohesive, easy-to-implement, and environmentally-friendly plan for not only the Chamber, but also other businesses as well.
We hope sincerely that this inspires you, the reader, to bring about small changes that can make a huge impact on our community as a whole, not just for businesses, but for the residents as well.
For us – this project made us stretch beyond ourselves – and through the Leadership Main Line Program – we learned to step up and become amazing leaders to help bring this amazing project to fruition.
Together we can make a difference.
