Jennifer Hicks of Chestertown and Principal of Positive Force Consulting has been accepted into the Shore Leadership Class of 2012. Modeled after national and regional leadership organizations, Shore Leadership was formed in 1997 to promote a regional approach among local leaders for addressing community issues.
Hicks is among 20 Eastern Shore executives and members of senior management who will take part in the nine month educational program that explores themes of regional interest including legacy, community and arts, economic development, healthcare, environment and agriculture, education, and government. Participants will also receive leadership training facilitated by a master certified leadership coach. The program commences with an overnight April retreat at Harbourtowne Golf and Conference Center in St. Michaels. Following the December 2012 graduation ceremony, these class members will join a network of over 300 alumni leaders.
“Our participants engage in a broad range of experiences focused on the Eastern Shore as a whole—its people, its needs, and its services,” according to Marcia Bryan a member of the Class of 2006 and president of Shore Leadership. “Through face-to-face discussions with community leaders, these class members will hone their leadership skills and develop a better understanding of the shared challenges and opportunities of this region.”
