LETTER FROM FOUNDER JIM WARE

We are very proud of Leadership Clovis now recognized as a dynamic program. It is unique in its approach to business and community leadership training. Clovis Chamber has partnered with the Empowerment Team to provide the best in leadership and project development skills.
As a two year program, Leadership Clovis is unique. The second year is dedicated to a project selected and accomplished by the class. Though eliminated from other leadership programs, class projects remain a major focus of Leadership Clovis. In fact, four of our classes are concurrently working on projects!

With classes limited to a comfortable “team” size, the members have the opportunity to fully identify their leadership styles and skill levels. Also, this allows the members to discover and practice new skills within their own “style,” and to get to know each other better. The camaraderie and mutual respect is obvious as each class has stayed together to complete its project, many agreeing to extend into third or fourth years.

Please review this brochure and call the Clovis Chamber for further information. We invite your interest in Leadership Clovis as a class member and encourage you to consider sponsoring one of your employees in the program as well. Your financial support through program sponsorship or scholarships is also encouraged.

Leadership Clovis is developing a growing pool of leaders trained in personal, family, community and business leadership skills.
