Leadership
The Leadership Novato mission is to identify and nurture existing
and
potential community leaders, to increase their knowledge
of the community, and enhance individual leadership skills.
In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.
~ Eric Hoffer

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

We work for you...
"The Chamber Leadership program was truly the reason why I became President of the Chamber. It gave me the knowledge about all the facets of our city and made me feel confident enough to help spread the word. Getting to know people through mixers, meetings and social events has broadened not only by business referral base but also my personal friends. I owe a lot to the Chamber and I can't do enough to give back."
- Denise Athas, Provident Real Estate Chamber President 2002
