Pompano Beach - If you are striving to be an emerging leader in your community, one way to gain support is through “Leadership North Broward,” an interactive learning experience design to develop leadership skills and provide an introduction to the communities of North Broward.  Leadership North Broward encompasses Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point and the surrounding market areas.

Led by Chadia Ghanem of Auto Tech & Body, and now, Chuck Bell, of Bell & Bell Law Firm, this program meets one day a month for a tour and introduction of various areas within the community. The theme of the tour changes monthly from public service, public health, regional government, tourism, history day, business, non-profit and port sectors. The program will give the individual insight and access to the inner circle of local business, government, civic and community leaders.

"The Leadership North Broward vision is to inspire, inform and advance accomplished business men and women leaders who will influence our region’s future,” said Ghanem. “The program offers participants a close-up view of political, business and social issues and trends, information that is invaluable to them as executives or entrepreneur and active participant in the community.”

Leadership North Broward will also help develop and enhance participant’s leadership skills, business acumen and increase their personal marketability. This program is a great opportunity to belong to a unique group of business leaders, charting their course through today's challenges and setting their compass for success in 2014

Leadership North Broward is actively seeking tomorrow's leaders. Class enrollment is limited to ensure each participant access and visibility.
