Leadership Lamoille is a leadership program of the Lamoille Region Chamber of Commerce for “today’s managers to become tomorrow’s leaders.” The current class consists of eight participants working in healthcare, education, banking, hospitality and energy fields. There are nine day-long classes in this year’s program, one per month, from September 2016 through June 2017.

Last month I participated in the class on “Community Leadership.” I was impressed with the quality of both the program and the students.

I participated in a panel discussion about the responsibilities of the board of directors for both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, and the relationship between the board of directors and the chief executive officer or executive director.

I also gave a presentation about financial statements of not-for-profit organizations from the point of view of the board of directors:
