A story by WOWK features the 52 members of the leadership class to participate in the 19th class of Leadership West Virginia.
“Leadership West Virginia is a statewide education and leadership development program affiliated with the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce. The eight-month program identifies emerging leaders throughout West Virginia and enhances their knowledge not only of the challenges facing the state, but also the state’s unique attributes and diversity. Recognizing that the cultivation of new leadership is of utmost importance to West Virginia’s future prosperity and progress, Leadership West Virginia works to develop and motivate a cross-section of leaders who will use their talents and abilities to inspire others and to foster a new spirit of energy, enthusiasm and vitality throughout the state.
Each year, participants are selected from a list of top-quality applicants from around the state. Individuals are selected into the program because they demonstrate leadership skills and — experiences in civic activities, public affairs and in their professional careers. ‘We are very pleased with the quality and number of people who applied for this year’s class,’ said Pam Farris, Executive Director of Leadership West Virginia. ‘It was a very competitive process.’”
Dusty Gwinn, with the West Virginia University Research Corporation, is a nominee.
