Quad City Chamber Federation Leadership Academy
The 2011 Leadership Academies are on hold until a result is decided in regards to the proposed merger of the IL and IA QC Chamber of Commerces!
Special discount for previous grads: If you have taken a Leadership Academy, and would like to repeat or try the other one, we'll give you a discount of 7% so that it will cost $1,025 for Leadership Essentials or $605 for Community Leadership.
Encourage friends, family and co-workers to attend an Academy and learn what you already know!
Two tracks and an alumni association are offered in the 2010-2011 year: Quad City Community Leadership (which gives a broad perspective of the QCA to choose what impact participants wish to have) and Leadership Essentials (which investigates a few issues using skills learned). The Quad City Leadership Alumni Association is targeted to any person who has successfully graduated from any of the leadership programs of the three chambers.
Leadership Essentials
It is essential that we have many different types of leaders in order to keep the Quad City Region strong. Leadership Essentials helps build leaders by teaching skills such as visioning, strategy & goal setting, performing teams, managing change, and more. This critical program will meet for nine sessions every other Friday beginning on January 15, 2010 from 8am-12 until April 30, 2010.
The Federation is collaborating with St. Ambrose University to offer these sessions at various business locations around the Quad Cities. Dr. Randy Richards and Susan Zelnio will facilitate the sessions which will include leaders of the businesses, instruction, projects, and discussion. A special session will be given by Ginny Wilson-Peters of Integrity Integrated.
Geared towards anyone who wishes to learn or improve their leadership skills, this is open to participants who plan to move up in their company. It will be required to work in a small group to better understand an issue of importance and how the Quad City leaders have handled various leadership aspects.
It will be required to spend time outside of the session to do "homework" each time. It will take an additional 16-20 hours.
Cost for Leadership Essentials will be $1,100. A joint graduation celebration with the Quad City Community Leadership track will be in May 2010.

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. The QC Chamber Federation Leadership Academies are designed to equip participants with the skills needed to successfully lead their company and community. The programs also inspire and offer participants opportunities to experience our community and allow participants to learn from each other as well as established leaders.
