Applications are now being taken for Leadership Walker County.

This program gives business professionals a network of 20+ colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and industries throughout the county. Each month will feature a one-day tour during which the class will examine a local issue and discuss their observations as a group.
The Leadership Walker County class kicks off with a bonding retreat Sept. 12 from 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at Camp New Dawn.
Space is limited to 24 participants. Application and additional details are at http://www.walkercochamber.com/leadership-walker-county.html. Contact Glenda Jones at 706.375-7702 or info@walkercochamber.com.
