Leadership Tahlequah
Leadership Tahlequah is a program of the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce with a mission to establish a leadership foundation for the future of our area. The health and prosperity of our community will be in the hands of those citizens who are committed to the common good, those who are dedicated to achieving a shared vision. We need leaders from all walks of life, with a wide variety of disciplines and backgrounds, who represent every component of our community.
Leadership Tahlequah began in 1996, with the first class meeting for four sessions starting in September 1997. Today, the class meets for ten sessions. Those sessions are: state government, county government, city government, history and tourism, utilities, heath care, public schools, Cherokee Nation, Northeastern State University, United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and Talking Leaves Job Corps.
This program is led by the Leadership Steering Committee, chaired by David McClain. David was the president of the Chamber when this program started and has championed the cause since. Since Class I, some 200 local citizens have graduated the program.
Applications for membership are accepted during the summer months with the first class in September. The class will graduate in June. Class 14 is the current class, scheduled to graduate in June, 2011. If you are interested in attending the class, please contact the Chamber.
