***2024 Leadership Chillicothe applications are now being accepted.***

Leadership Chillicothe, originally established in 1989 by the Chillicothe Area Chamber of Commerce, was developed to motivate the visionary leaders in Livingston County.  It’s an intense seven-month program where participants gather knowledge and skills to become great leaders in the community.

The program was resurrected in 2017 from a near 10 year hiatus, up to 15 participants will be selected based on strict criteria. The criteria include: motivation and interest to serve in the Chillicothe area, potential or existing opportunities for advancement to leadership positions, willingness to commit time and energy to complete the program, and full support of the corporation/organization that is represented. Throughout the year, participants attend afternoon sessions focused on leadership skills, business and community issues, and the history and culture of Chillicothe/Livingston County.

The goal of Leadership Chillicothe is to accentuate our participants’ confidence, knowledge, leadership and interpersonal skills to become distinguished dignitaries in our community.  Leadership Chillicothe is in session from April through October, and meets the second Tuesday of each month excluding the initial retreat which includes a day and a half session in April. Graduation will be held on the weeknight evening during the third week of October.
