ARCC Accepting Applications for Accepting Applications for Leadership Adirondack Program

The Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce (ARCC) is excited to announce the application period for their Leadership Adirondack program for 2024-25. The ARCC Leadership Adirondack program is designed for individuals who demonstrate a potential for community leadership and a sincere commitment, motivation and interest in serving the community in which they live or work.

“We are thrilled to welcome applications for our 2024-25 Leadership Adirondack program,” said ARCC President & CEO Tricia Rogers. “Strong communities are built and sustained by effective local leaders, and our region is a testimony to this. We have seen past Leadership Adirondack participants go on to do great things.”

Leadership Adirondack is a dynamic, interactive program that provides skill development and community immersion experiences that enables participants to grow personally and professionally as they explore issues and opportunities in Warren & Washington County, New York.

Through a combination of class time and industry tours, Leadership Adirondack develops the leadership potential of participants and builds a solid foundation of informed, action-orientated, productive employees and citizens.

Participants can anticipate gaining an increased understanding of the challenges and opportunities affecting our region, as well as creating new and lasting friendships from a network of participants who come from varying backgrounds and diverse interests. Many graduates of the program have been appointed to the most senior positions in their organizations and to numerous commissions and board of directors.

The program previously ran in 2022-23 and consisted of 16 individuals, from varying industries, with an interest in growing their leadership skills and making a difference in their communities. Through leadership training and classroom sessions, to business and industry tours, these individuals dedicated over 16 weeks to their professional growth.

Through a very successful community project, this class raised over $23,000 for Family Service Association of Glens Falls, a nonprofit dedicated to providing services and support to families in crisis or in an emergency situation.

For the 2024-25 program, the ARCC has partnered with Brian Rollo, founder of Brian Rollo Consulting, to offer a comprehensive program on leadership development. Brian, a distinguished graduate of the Leadership Adirondack program, brings two decades of local business and leadership expertise from his tenure at Arrow Financial.

Over the past five years, he has successfully helmed his own training, speaking, and coaching company, mentoring and shaping hundreds of leaders. Brian is also the accomplished author of the book “The 10 Habits of Influential Leaders”.

Individuals who demonstrate potential for community leadership and a sincere commitment, motivation and interest in serving the community in which they live, or work should consider applying. Applicants must be an ARCC member in good standing to be considered.

Applications will be accepted through May 24, 2024. Information on eligibility, program details, and application can be found on the ARCC website: www.adirondackchamber.org/leadership-adirondack
