Oregon Coast Community College and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to offer Leadership Lincoln, a ten-month leadership development program for local leaders. Now in its 31st year, this program develops individual leadership skills while informing participants about the people and organizations that make up Lincoln County. The class meets once per month, September through June, with the goal to develop leadership and management skills for individuals who are interested in and committed to the future of Lincoln County. Best of all, it provides ample opportunities to connect and form long-term relationships with leaders in the community.
Participants can expect to learn about local industries and resources during informative panel discussions with local experts. Popular topics include education, tourism, industry, public health, and other essential areas of business and life in Lincoln County. Jalene Case, of Jalene Case Coaching and Consulting, guides participants through content based on The Complete Leader program, including an assessment that supports students in learning more about their behaviors (how a person acts), motivators (why a person acts), and development in 25 leadership skills. Leaders grow by identifying individual strengths, improving communication skills and focusing on custom development objectives.
“Leadership is a function of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential” Warren G. Bennis Classes will be held in various locations around the county based on the panel discussion topics. Class times are 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month, from September 2023 through June 2024. Interested parties are invited to an open house called “Leadership Lincoln at a Glance,” held at the Newport Chamber office, located at 555 SW Coast Highway in Newport, on Wednesday, August 23 at 5:15 p.m to approximately 6:15 p.m.
Tuition is $550 per student, and class size is limited to 30 participants. The deadline to apply is September 1st, 2023. Leadership Lincoln is sponsored by the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, Oregon Coast Community College, Bateman Funeral Home, Lincoln City Rotary, Oregon State Credit Union, and Umpqua Bank.
