"[This is] the best opportunity to learn more about Concord. The sessions build upon each one so at the end there is no reason not to get involved whether [as] a nonprofit board member or as a volunteer!"

Lead
Represent your industry in the Chamber’s prestigious leadership program. Leadership Greater Concord (LGC) is an immersive program for area professionals who are interested in becoming more involved in the Capital Region community.
Leadership Greater Concord (LGC)
Beginning in September, a group of motivated leaders will embark on a 10-month journey into the inner workings of Concord and the surrounding region. Each month, a day-long program will focus on different aspects of life in the region. Session day topics include:
- History, Arts, Culture & Community
- Livable Communities and Smart Growth
- Environment & Sustainability
- Criminal Justice
- Communication & the Media
- Government & Politics; Health & Human Services
- Education
These thought-provoking session days feature speakers such as Governor Sununu, Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington, City of Concord Mayor Byron Champlin, Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services Lori Weaver, Chief Osgood of Concord Police Department, and Jim Schachter CEO of New Hampshire Public Radio. LGC participants have personal conversations with these presenters and continue to engage with them after graduation.
LGC Alumni
Now in its 31st year, LGC has over 600 alumni, many of whom are making an impact by serving on local town boards, nonprofit boards or municipal committees. Many of these alumni are active volunteers in the community or work professionally for key organizations throughout Greater Concord.
