Leadership Aberdeen Kick Off

This program of the Aberdeen Area Chamber of Commerce is designed to educate and develop emerging leaders in the Aberdeen area, open a dialogue between participants and community leaders, and develop personal and professional skills.

Leadership Aberdeen is a comprehensive leadership training program that provides participants with the opportunity to sharpen their skills, share their experiences, and make life-long connections with fellow participants. Participants will follow a 13-week curriculum which focuses on growing their individual skills by focusing on leadership attributes.

The class also gains broader knowledge of the businesses, opportunities and challenges in our community through tours of local businesses and hearing from local leaders on company philosophies, goals, and success stories. Plus the class gives back to the community by facilitating a local project or event that will have a positive impact on the Aberdeen community. The 2025 kicks off on January 9th and wraps up on April 4th with graduation. Click the links below for a 2025 schedule and application. For more information, call the Chamber at (605) 225-2860.
