Strong leadership is a key ingredient in the continuing development of a thriving community.  The Greater Hall Chamber’s Leadership Hall County (LHC) program was founded in 1982 and educates emerging and existing leaders to be integral players in the future of our community.

Since its inception, 1,124 men and women representing our diversity have completed this program and taken their place as leaders in the community.  Among the alumni are business professionals, politicians, judges, corporate CEOs, successful entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, devoted educators and dedicated community volunteers.  Through a series of sessions combining lectures and tours, participants learn about such topics as Economic Development, Public Safety, Government, Tourism, Education, Healthcare, Social Services, Agriculture and Quality of Life.
