Chatham County Commissioner Katie Kenlan completed the Advanced Leadership Corps (ALC) training from UNC Chapel Hill’s School of Government.
According to a release from the county, ALC is an intensive leadership development program designed by the School’s Center for Public Leadership and Governance. The training is offered annually to select local elected officials.
The weeklong residential program is a dynamic experience that helps participants learn about their own leadership styles, inspire others to work toward a shared vision, and gain insights into how to work together to build better relationships and achieve far-reaching results. More than 200 local elected leaders from across North Carolina have completed this selective program since its inception in 2013.
“I am honored to have been selected to participate in the Advanced Leadership Corps,” said Kenlan in a statement. “I am very grateful for this experience which allowed me to form wonderful friendships with other local government leaders across the state and learn valuable skills that will benefit my service on the Board of Commissioners.”
“We are extremely proud of Commissioner Kenlan for achieving this great accomplishment,” said Chatham County Manager Dan LaMontagne. “The skills that Commissioner Kenlan learned in the Advanced Leadership Corps will serve our Board and community well.”
Chatham County Commissioner Vice Chair Karen Howard and Pittsboro Mayor Kyle Shipp have previously completed the program.
