Program Goal
The goal of this program is to develop leadership and management skills for individuals who are interested in and committed to the future of Lincoln County. In addition, the program provides opportunities to connect with leaders in the community.
Guest Speakers
Participants can expect to learn about local industries and resources during the informative panel discussions with local experts. Leadership skills are developed by identifying individual strengths, improving communication skills and focusing on custom objectives for growth.

Our September orientation will be at the OCCC Newport Campus. For the rest of the year, classes will be held in various locations around Lincoln County based on the panel discussion topics. Class times are
8:45am - 3:30pm on the third Wednesday of each month from September 2025 to June 2026.
If you have any questions contact Maggie Conrad at the Newport Chamber of Commerce Office (maggie@newportchamber.org or 541-265-8801).
