The Washington-Beaufort County Chamber of Commerce recently held a graduation lunch, sponsored by PotashCorp-Aurora, for the 2017 Leadership Beaufort class. There were 10 participants and graduates in the 2017 class. Leadership Beaufort is a fun, educational and rewarding program sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce that is designed to meet our community’s needs for the active involvement of informed and dedicated community leaders. The program provides participants with an in-depth look at specific topics of community interest, such as city and county government, education, health resources, nonprofit organizations, law enforcement and the courts and economic diversity of Beaufort County. It was developed by the Chamber to ensure a continuing reservoir of leadership talent for the future. Leadership Beaufort consists of a series of one-day sessions designed to inform, challenge and motivate leaders to become involved in supporting and directing the future of Beaufort County. Several Chamber board members are pictured along with the 10 graduates.
