What is Leadership Monroe County?
Monroe County's rapidly changing needs and concerns make it necessary that a group of strong leaders guide the community in a positive direction. So that our leaders are well educated about their community, the Key West Chamber of Commerce developed Leadership Monroe County.
The program is aimed at community residents who are active in leadership roles in the private sector, government, or community organizations. Through a series of one- and two-day sessions, participants examine fundamental segments of our local community and gather information to help them make quality leadership decisions. All sessions bring together the key government and private sector leaders of the county in a seminar and group discussion format.
Graduates become part of Leadership Monroe County's alumni organization, dedicated to furthering cooperation and community well-being between local leaders. The alumni network offers an ideal framework for pursuing individual and community goals and business objectives. Program planning and administration are overseen by an alumni board of directors.
Leadership Monroe County operates under the auspices of the Community Foundation of the Florida Keys.
