Participants

Leadership Chattanooga solicits nominations from all sectors of the community.  A maximum of 40 people have the opportunity to participate in the program each year.  Class members are selected on their own merits through an application process conducted by the Selection Committee.

     Criteria for Selection Includes:
  • Sincere commitment, motivation and interest
  • Demonstrated dedication through past community activities
  • Interest in seeking public office or volunteering for a board, commission or other key leadership role
  • Potential or existing opportunities for advancement to top leadership positions
These criteria ensure that Leadership Chattanooga classes will be comprised of members who hold responsible career positions and possess a record of public service.

The Chamber makes a diligent effort to select participants who represent a cross-section of the community in terms of sex, race, age and occupation.  The diversity of perspectives among participants generates much of the most meaningful interaction and personal training in the program.
