Applications are now being accepted for the 2013 Leadership Bryan program.

A program of the Richmond Hill Bryan County Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Bryan is designed to bring together a diverse group of potential leaders and provide a forum for shared viewpoints on the needs of Richmond Hill/Bryan County and the coastal region.

Since 1994, Leadership Bryan has been introducing its participants to facets of the Bryan County community through a hands-on six-month leadership course. Members participate in educational sessions, tours and conversations with community leaders. Topics include leadership, communication/team building, history, economic development/education, environment and government/military.

Members of Leadership Bryan are business and professional people who want to learn more about the community in which they live and/or work. The program begins in January and ends in June and classes in general meet one Friday per month, typically from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

The cost of the Leadership Bryan program is $400 for RHBC Chamber members and $600 for non-Chamber members, which includes a one-year individual chamber membership. Payment is due prior to the first day of class. There are limited scholarship funds available for approved applicants.
