As the Billings area continues to grow, it is becoming more and more important for local business leaders to communicate and work effectively together. The Billings Chamber/CVB Leadership Billings Program offers a venue for these individuals to develop and maintain strong community ties which help form stronger community relationships.
Each year, dozens of local business leaders and executives join the Billings Chamber of Commerce/Convention and Visitors Bureau’s Leadership Billings Program. This program works to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and expertise among leaders of area businesses and organizations. Through this valuable eight-month course, participants gain clearer business climate and community perspectives. With keynote speakers, panel discussions, team-building exercises, problem solving and site visits, participants have an opportunity to:
* Gain insight into the local economy
* Explore Billings’ history
* Interact with business, government and educational leaders
* Build and develop individual leadership skills
* Learn more about pressing community issues Not only do participants learn more about the ‘insides’ of the local business community and climate, but they also build relationships, that in the end, can create a stronger business voice for the city. Group members explore opportunities to work together as a community, which is extremely important as the city moves forward.
