The Journey Begins: Meet Leadership Santa Rosa Class 43
Strong communities depend on informed, engaged leaders who understand the issues, opportunities and people that shape the places they call home.
The Santa Rosa Metro Chamber is pleased to announce the selection of Leadership Santa Rosa Class 43, a new cohort of community members preparing to deepen their knowledge of Sonoma County and expand their capacity to lead.
Over the next two years, participants will experience an immersive exploration of Sonoma County's business, civic and nonprofit sectors, gaining firsthand perspectives on the forces influencing the region's future. Often called a “Master's Degree in Sonoma County,” Leadership Santa Rosa challenges participants to look beyond their own professional and personal experiences, consider the bigger picture and discover new opportunities for community engagement and leadership.
