QC Chamber recruiting for Leadership QC participants

The Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for the reimagined Leadership QC program.

It aims to strengthen leaders by developing their ability to navigate complex workplace dynamics and create stronger relationships across diverse groups. 

“We are very excited about the newly revamped Leadership QC program,” said Joanna Drake, the chamber’s manager of talent & inclusion. “It will be a hands-on, immersive experience that brings leaders together to actively engage in real challenges and opportunities in our community.”

Through this experience, participants will form meaningful connections with fellow regional leaders, gain actionable insights to elevate their leadership skills and deepen their understanding of critical issues impacting the quality of life for all Quad Citizens.
