LAC Class XXI

Description

Leadership Aransas County Class XXI  
The Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of developing and retaining leaders in our community. For this reason, the Chamber offers two programs to educate and nurture our current and future community leaders: Leadership Aransas County (LAC) and Youth Leadership Aransas County (YLAC). Through educational seminars and leadership skills development, we hope to develop a group of informed, committed citizens who will assume leadership roles in our community. 

Leadership Aransas County is a comprehensive program for current business professionals. Once a month for nine months, participants are involved in interactive classes that provide an in-depth view of our history; local government; education; health & wellness; tourism; education and much more. The program offers skills training and idea experimentation which will create an attitude receptive to new approaches and adventure in the study of Aransas County issues. The graduate of LAC should have the strongest potential for future leadership and will have the capability of contributing greatly to Aransas County through their continued service in the Chamber of Commerce, city and county government and many other worthy endeavors. 

Each year the leadership class chooses a class project, these projects are community oriented and are a fundamental part of the Leadership program. The class projects engage participants into the community and facilitate their involvement with various groups while empowering them to develop team and individual leadership skills. Each project team is responsible for creating and implementing their program with the end goal being a sustainable project for the community at large.
