Leadership Fairbanks is a program facilitated by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce designed to empower emerging and established leaders to expand their skills through exposure to challenging ideas, insights from community leaders, lively discussion, and personal reflection. Participating in Leadership Fairbanks is an inspiring experience where you will develop lifelong relationships with leaders in our community while learning the skills necessary to become a valued leader in your organization and in our community.

About 27 leaders are selected to participate in nine day-long sessions - once a month for nine months.

Applicants must be able to attend 8 of the 9 sessions (dates are listed below) and come to each session prepared to contribute by asking questions and sharing their unique perspectives.

All participants must demonstrate the following:

• Passion for the people and future of our region and a personal commitment to help improve the quality of life in the Fairbanks area.
• Commitment to the community through current and past activities.
• Willingness to commit the requisite time and energy to complete the program, which requires the full support of their organizations.

Successful Leadership Fairbanks applicants routinely go on to hold influential leadership roles and positively change the future of our community.
