6/18/2022 12:43:00 PM Chamber Leadership Englewood Class of 2022 Gives Back
The Chamber’s Leadership Englewood class of 2022 gave back to three local non-profits in a big way during their graduation celebration at Boca Royale Golf & Country Club on June 1st. The recipients were: The Long Walk Home, Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary (EARS) and Kids Needs of Greater Englewood. Each received a check for $8,000. The class also earmarked funds for a legacy project to help beautify an area along Dearborn Street. Over $40,000 was raised from events the class put on along with support from many local businesses. The twenty graduates each received a symbolic eagle trophy during the ceremony. Leadership Englewood is designed to educate local business leaders about their community and the societal and economic challenges it faces. Armed with that better understanding, the individual can best determine how to be of value to the community and to affect positive growth and change. The 9-month program takes participants on a monthly themed field trip and allows the class to create and hold events to raise funds for the non-profits they chose to support. Applications are currently being accepted for the Leadership Class of 2023. Deadline to apply online is Thursday, June 30. Learn more at www.EnglewoodChamber.Com.
