The New Bedford Chamber was one of several founding organizations that came together to find a solution to the burgeoning need for new and emerging leaders in the SouthCoast. Leadership SouthCoast was developed to solve this problem by recruiting, training and building a strong network of leaders who will serve as catalysts and sustainers of positive change in the SouthCoast.
BENEFITS
Coordinated by UMASS Dartmouth, Leadership SouthCoast (LSC) provides emerging leaders with a powerful learning environment and a dialogue that will last long after the program has been completed.
FOR PARTICIPANTS: Leadership SouthCoast creates opportunities for contact with influential leaders and provides experience in critical thinking, group dynamics, team leadership, presentation skills, ethics, and decision-making. Participants grow as individuals and gain a better understanding of their community, learn cutting-edge leadership skills, and enhance personal relationships. Most importantly, Leadership SouthCoast motivates and builds the confidence needed to become actively involved in promoting positive change for the SouthCoast.
FOR THE EMPLOYER: Leadership SouthCoast develops the organizational, leadership and problem solving skills of its participants. In addition, LSC offers new insights into the community and helps participants identify where strategic alliances might be forged and provides organizations unique perspectives on the behind-the-scenes workings of our state.
FOR THE COMMUNITY: Leadership SouthCoast brings leaders together and encourages creative partnerships and initiatives among the public, non-profit, and private sectors. The program develops committed, knowledgeable and action-oriented people to serve as catalysts in promoting positive changes- people ready to roll up their sleeves and work to make the SouthCoast a great place to live, work, and visit.
