2023 Leadership Bedford - 1st Class

The Bedford Area Chamber of Commerce is pleased to have been able to offer Leadership Bedford to our community for 26 years! 

Leadership Bedford provides the unique opportunity to help build today’s existing and emerging leaders. This 6-month program provides classic training in leadership styles and techniques while incorporating community knowledge.

Students will participate in activities focused on developing strong working relationships between participants, identifying and evaluating the characteristics of leadership and distinguishing each person’s leadership style.

“Community Focus” sessions consist of panel discussions, lectures, and community tours which include face-to-face discussions with top-level business, civic and governmental leaders. Team building is a big part of the training. This is a certified John Maxwell course.

Expectations

Students are expected to attend all sessions unless other arrangements have been made. While students are expected to provide their own transportation, ride share options are available for tours.

Students should dress in a professional manner for all sessions, wearing business casual attire that can also accommodate movement and flexibility.
