Applications are open until April 12 for the Greenville Chamber’s Leadership Greenville program. Participants will be selected based on an application process that includes essays, professional resume and community involvement, according to a news release.

Leadership Greenville is the chamber’s 10-month leadership development program designed to develop informed, committed and qualified leaders for Greenville County.

“By taking an intensive look into the issues affecting the area, Leadership Greenville prepares and motivates participants to provide quality, dynamic leadership,” the news release said. “The program has graduated over 2,200 alumni since 1973, many of which have served in key positions, including school board, city and county council seats, members of the General Assembly and Congress, judges and business leaders.”

For the 48^th class, measures will be considered to provide a safe Leadership Greenville experience while maintaining the legacy of the program, including virtual elements, reducing the class size and following all COVID-19 safety guidelines when meeting in person, the release said. The program will begin in September and end in May 2022. Applicants can expect to be notified in July.

An information session will be held on March 15 at noon to review the program, application and selection process.
