LSR Program

Information about LSR and applying to LSR is available on the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber website http://www.santarosametrochamber.com/

Mission Statement: “The Leadership Santa Rosa program encourages greater community involvement by identifying and developing effective Sonoma County leaders who will help create a spirit of cooperation for the resolution of community challenges.”

Program Overview: LSR is an educational program intended to develop and equip effective community leaders via exposure to pertinent issues, broad thinkers and the richness of Santa Rosa and Sonoma County.

The program is designed to meet these challenges during a series of 10 full-day, interactive seminars. Each day focuses on a distinct topic, during which participants gain knowledge of the history, challenges and hands-on experience with important issues.

For more information, please email or call Natalia Chavez at (707) 636-3661.

Applications for Leadership Santa Rosa Class 36 are now closed.

A steering committee made up of graduates and chamber staff guides the program to offer up-to-date topics.
