About Leadership Cary
Leadership Cary is designed for area business people that will soon be area leaders. Leadership Cary helps ensure that there is a talented pool of leadership for our future. Participants will learn about the economic, social, cultural and political facets of the community from the leadership of today. Through the program, participants will begin to become more knowledgeable about the community and find areas of interest in which they would like to become more involved. These will be the well-equipped leaders of tomorrow. Please note, you may only miss up to two sessions. Attendance is mandatory; therefore, commitment to the program is necessary for participation.
Why should you or an employee participate?
While learning about the important elements of the community, you will find that participants establish a great amount of contacts – both with fellow participants and with the leaders that the group meets with throughout the program. There are also Triangle-wide events that Leadership Program alumni may become involved in over the years.
