Leadership training and development programs play a vital role in developing a pool of potential leaders who have the necessary knowledge and leadership skills. In sustainable leadership, it is important to grow this pool of candidates so that the community is appropriately represented as existing leaders move in and out of the system. Preparation becomes a key factor in leadership succession, and understanding the issues and how the system works are really the first steps to leadership.

The San Rafael Leadership Institute sponsored by the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce offers a singular opportunity to learn about current issues in local government, transportation, education, law enforcement, community diversity, the arts, the media, the economy, environment, agriculture, health and human services. Students do this while developing leadership and team-building skills.

The Institute meets once a month from October through June. Each monthly session is held at a different location in and around San Rafael and Marin, exposing participants to local businesses, community centers and government facilities. Each month offers a program designed with Leadership Institute graduates, and addresses current events and issues. Participants are actively engaged throughout the program, as they respond and debate with local leaders about cutting edge topics for San Rafael and Marin County.

“The dedicated people who graduate from the Chamber Leadership Program are making a commitment to our community by participating, engaging and learning how to be good leaders in our county. A real leader has the vision, commitment and passion to accomplish important goals. John Quincy Adams once said, ‘If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.’”
