Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Granville Class of 2020-21 Canceled

/by

100.1 FM ~ 1450 AM ~ WIZS, Your Community Voice ~ Click to LISTEN LOCAL

-Press Release, Granville County Chamber of Commerce

The Granville County Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Granville Steering Committee and Executive Committee have made the decision to cancel the Leadership Granville Class of 2020 – 2021. The decision was made based on the potential impact of COVID-19 on the upcoming class, which was scheduled to begin in early September and run through the end of March 2021.

Currently, Chamber businesses and industry members are unable to allow visitors to tour their facilities. Also, Steering Committee members are limited in the amount of “outside of their workplace” interaction they are able to have.  

A virtual class option was discussed; however, it was unanimous that this was not ideal as networking face-to-face with other class members, and visiting the community entities is extremely important.

Those persons who wish to be included on a list to be contacted for the 2021 – 2022 Leadership Granville class should email the Granville County Chamber of Commerce – wanda@granville-chamber.com or tawheeler@granville-chamber.com to request an interest flyer.
