Leadership Ames is a program of the Ames Chamber of Commerce that offers the opportunity for participants to gain experience in civic leadership responsibilities and cultivate relationships with other local leaders and community members.

"We are very excited to once again connect businesses and people together, to convene leaders for a common cause,” says Jan Williams, Vice President at the Ames Chamber of Commerce. “This energetic class will learn from one another but also hear from business leaders throughout the community, gaining an understanding of various businesses and industries and how they impact where we live, work and do business. This program dives into professional development growth, but shares numerous educational opportunities that will generate leaders for tomorrow.”

​Classmates will hear presentations on important topics, debate issues, participate in class activities, visit with area leaders, tour facilities and get to know other individuals representing a broad cross-section of the community. Session begins January 12, 2023.
