Oregon Coast Community College and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to offer Leadership Lincoln, a 10-month leadership development program.
Now in its 30th year, this program develops individual leadership skills while informing participants about the people and organizations that make up Lincoln County. The class meets once a month, September through June, with the goal to develop leadership and management skills for individuals who are interested in and committed to the county’s future.
Participants can expect to learn about local industries and resources during panel discussions with local experts, including education, tourism, industry, public health, and other essential businesses.
The program is lead by Jalene Case of Jalene Case Coaching and Consulting through content based on The Complete Leader program. Leaders grow by identifying individual strengths, improving communication skills and focusing on custom development objectives.
Classes will be held in various locations around the county based on the panel discussion topics. Class times are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, from September through June 2023.
Anyone interested in the program are invited to an open house called “Leadership Lincoln at a Glance,” scheduled 5:15-6:15 p.m. Aug. 17 at the Newport Chamber office, 555 S.W. Coast Highway. More information is available by calling the Newport chamber at 541-265-8801, email Bobbi Price at bobbi@newportchamber.org or visiting the chamber’s website newportchamber.org/leadership-lincoln.
