    By Jules Broussard | Leadership Excel | Comments are Closed | 29 July, 2021 | 0

    Applications Available Now for 2022 Leadership Excel Program

    Since 1995, the Acadia & Jeff Davis Parish Chambers’ Leadership Excel program has cultivated over 500 leaders in both parishes through this highly informative, educational and results-oriented leadership development program. 

    Leadership Excel strives to empower and encourage a diverse group of existing and emerging leaders that are prepared and committed to serving our region. The program helps participants better understand the communities they serve and work in.  It prepares them for the challenges they’ll face as community leaders by interacting with and learning from experts and thought leaders. An educational opportunity that broadens perspectives, Leadership Excel allows participants to gain increased understanding of community dynamics and public issues.

    Throughout the year, classes meet in various locations around the region & state each month with a major program topic covered by knowledgeable speakers and panels, tours, group activities, demonstrations and class discussions. Sessions include topics such as government, education, public safety, economic development, arts, agriculture, health and human services, and leadership development.

    How to Apply for Leadership EXCEL:

    Applications for this 11-month program are available now, with completed applications to be submitted by Friday, November 1. Residents and individuals who work in the Acadia & Jeff Davis parish areas are eligible to apply for Leadership Excel. Applications and more information can be found at AcadiaParishChamber.org/Leadership-Excel or by contacting Megan M. Duhon, Program Director, at (337) 788-0177 or Megan@AcadiaParishChamber.org.

    This class has been invaluable… impressive every step of the way and I’ve built wonderful relationships with my classmates throughout this journey!  We’ve learned so much from each session, I am excited about our communities and our state like never before!

    “As a 2014 graduate of Leadership Excel, I experienced things about my community, parish and state that I would have never learned if I had not made the decision to participate in this well-organized program. The business and government networking experiences acquired through fully immersing myself in the program has allowed me to reap benefits in my professional career and has also provided a great return on investment to my employer.”

    Leadership Excel has been a wonderful avenue to broaden my personal perspective on leadership and business, create and learn from new friends (from different backgrounds and careers), and gain knowledge about the different facets, regions, and industries of our state.
