Leadership and Teen Leadership Cherokee Class of 2022 Announced The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce its 33rd Anniversary Leadership Cherokee (LC) class as well as its 21st Annual Teen Leadership Cherokee (TLC) class. The 22 members of the LC class were chosen following participation in a nomination, application, and interview process. The class recently traveled to Brasstown Valley Resort for a retreat, during which members participated in both indoor and outdoor team building exercises. Over the next several months, the LC class will participate in a broad range of sessions that will focus on a variety of topics such as economic development, infrastructure, government, justice, education, recreation, tourism, public safety, health care, and social/human services. Following the nine-month program, the LC class will graduate during a ceremony in September. The TLC applicants, all high school sophomores who live in Cherokee County, were asked to submit an in-depth application including their school and community involvement as well as a video answering the question “Why should I be selected for Teen Leadership Cherokee?” After reviewing the applications and videos, local business leaders selected the class.The TLC Class attended an orientation with their parents and a retreat on January 22, which was held at the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce. The 17 class members have been working to develop a sense of community while discovering the impact of teamwork upon their peers, schools, and county. A graduation ceremony will be held later this month. The mission of Teen Leadership Cherokee is for participants to lead, educate, aspire, and drive themselves, so that they may confidently become our community’s next generation of leaders.For more information on the Chamber and its programs, visit CherokeeChamber.com.
