The EBL Leadership Program focuses on the key personal development skills needed to help young people become strong leaders within the business community and continue to advance our region.

The program consists of classroom training and networking opportunities. Training sessions are held the second Friday of the month at 8 a.m. at Chamber investor Dopkins & Company, LLP, 200 International Drive, Williamsville.

Course Topics:

• Self-Awareness Profile
• Generational Diversity Awareness
• Office Culture/Synergy
• Work-Life Balance
• Personal Financial Planning and Management
• Interview and Performance Reviews
• Emotional Intelligience
• Public Speaking with Confidence

The Chamber also recognizes that bonding with classmates is sometimes better suited outside the classroom, so there are several social events sprinkled throughout the program.

The next EBL Leadership Program begins in January 2020. Applications are accepted year-round.
