For the past 33 years, the Mason City Chamber of Commerce has provided leadership training for up-and-coming business people from the North Iowa area. In addition to skill development, Leadership North Iowa (LNI) participants meet well-established business owners and have the opportunity to pick their brains concerning best practices.
First and foremost, this program exposes participants to all North Iowa has to offer. At the same time, our goal is to engage Leadership North Iowa participants and alumni—to connect them to our community and to each other. LNI graduates are high-potential prospects that are well-poised to play a more prominent role in the community.
This can and does take many forms. For some, it may be the call to action to run for elective office. For others, participation may ignite the desire to seek an appointment to local government boards and commissions. It may provide the foundation to volunteer at a church or service club. It might even help people to assert themselves more in their place of work. Whichever direction our alumni choose to go, we know that Leadership North Iowa is often credited as the catalyst for becoming more actively involved in something they care about.
LNI sessions will be held each Tuesday from January 5-March 22 with a graduation ceremony on March 29. The registration fee is $375 for members and $500 for non-members. Download a registration form here or register online. Please contact Allyson with any questions.
