Southland Chamber of Commerce CE Sheree Carey said “At the completion of the experiential and reflective learning sessions, participants will be better equipped and have a good understanding of what is required to be a significant leader in their own organisation and in the wider business community.
Following graduation, participants will be invited to become a member of the Southland Leadership Academy Alumni, and will benefit from ongoing connections with our presenters, and other participants. The Chamber will also provide additional learning opportunities to our Alumni to assist them in their journey of ongoing professional development.”
