An effective community is one that works together to solve problems and improve the area’s quality of life. To build an effective community, one must first build effective leaders armed with proper tools and a general understanding of the overall community.
With this in mind the Illinois and Iowa Quad City Chamber of Commerces came together to develop a new Quad City Leadership Academy.
The new Quad City Leadership Academy was introduced by the Quad City Chamber Federation in the fall of 2006. The Academy is designed to equip participants with the skills needed to successfully lead their company and community. The program also inspires and offers participants opportunities to experience our community and allows participants to learn from each other as well as established leaders.
To build an effective community, one must first build effective leaders armed with proper tools and a general understanding of the overall community.
