New Orleans Builds Its Leadership Base

Forty four people from throughout the New Orleans area have been selected to participate in the sixth class of the New Orleans Regional Leadership Institute, a partnership with Greater New Orleans, Inc. Chase Bank is also a major sponsor of the Institute.

The mission of the New Orleans Reigonal Leadership Institute is to promote regional collaboration by providing a forum for the exchange of diverse viewpoints, a network of relationships and leadership skills development.

The business and civic leaders will participate in a nine-month course of intense study that begins in September. In two overnight retreats and seven monthly seminars, the group will address issues of concern to the entire New Orleans region.

A variety of topics will be addressed including economic development, diversity, workforce development, education and public safety.
