The Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce has been in existence since 1913 and throughout that time has sought to bring business people together for whatever purpose was important at the time.
In 2024, the organization is seeking people who want to help solve the problems of the 21st Century through collaboration.
“As our region addresses complex community challenges like affordable housing, climate resilience and healthcare access, cross-sector collaboration is increasingly crucial,” reads a May 15 press release seeking applicants for the latest version of a networking program with a purpose.
The Leaders Lab of Greater Charlottesville is a nine-month program that runs from September to May of each year with lessons in “conflict resolution, multi-party negotiations, cultural competence, meeting facilitation” and more.
Those selected will meet one day a month. There is a tuition fee and the amount available for scholarships for the 2025 years has already been committed. Many employers will cover the cost.
This program builds off a previous one called Leadership Charlottesville. Applications are being taken through June 28. To learn more about the program, there are two virtual question and answer sessions to be held on June 12 at noon and 4 p.m.
