Great Press

Great article today in The Observer. Publisher Thomas Harding accompanied Leadership Jefferson during our Education module in April; the article are his thoughts on the program. I have to say that I agree with his conclusions....

End of the Year

The fourth class of Leadership Jefferson is nearing the end of the journey on a positive note. Last week, the team responsible for the Tourism and Recreation Module took the class from the back of the house operations at Charles Town Races and Slots, to kart racing at Summit Point Automotive Research Center, to a fabulous Fresh Feast on the Farm lunch at Craftworks' beautiful farm, to an acting workshop at the Center for Creative Arts at Shepherd University with Ed Herendeen and Peggy McKowen at the Contemporary American Theater Festival, ending up at Bavarian Inn. Great day, and many thanks are due, especially to Bill Reichardt, who continues to be extremely generous in showing us Summit Point.

One more module --History and Culture-- in June, followed by the Graduation Banquet on June 10th. All alumni are invited to the Graduation Banquet.

Don't forget the June 25th Leadership Jefferson Alumni trip to CATF to see Eelwax Jesus, after which we'll have dinner and drinks at the Yellow Brick Bank.

We're also recruiting for next year's class, trying to find the best and brightest, the current and future leaders of Jefferson County. If interested, the application is at www.jeffersoncountywvchamber.org
