LEADERSHIP CUSHING 2022 PROGRAM

Hosted by the Cushing Chamber of Commerce 

Sponsorships are available for the LC 2022 session or individual sessions

Leadership Cushing is a seminar program hosted by the Cushing Chamber of Commerce.  The mission of Leadership Cushing is to prepare a representation cross section of the community's emerging leaders for their potential role in shaping the future of the Cushing Area.  This mission is achieved by acquainting class members with current community issues, providing a framework for meeting and working with other outstanding community leaders, promoting greater awareness of community resources, and offering avenues to become more civically involved through service projects and other community activities and/or leadership positions.  

Leadership Cushing has Four specific objectives: 

  • To Identify potential community leaders 
  • To expand the leadership potential of participants by increasing their knowledge of Cushing and critical issues that face our community 
  • to expose participants to current community leaders and  improve communications between current and future leaders 
  • To provide a channel for those not presently in leadership roles, to gain access to potential positions in our  community. 


THE CONCEPT/THE PARTICIPANTS: 

The Future of Cushing is dependent upon new leaders in our area.  Building a better community doesn't happen by accident.  It is fostered and nurtured by networking and connections made through Cushing Chamber programs.  Our Leadership Cushing Program is one in particular, that focuses explicitly on making connections and fostering potential future leaders in our community.  

Developing a resource of concerned and knowledgeable Adult Professionals who will contribute to enhancing our community development is the focus of LEADERSHIP CUSHING.  The experience offers talented individuals the opportunity for personal growth and professional development, while also preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow.  

If you are committed and open to serving the entire community, to helping solve local problems and to developing leadership potential, you are encouraged to apply for the LEADERSHIP CUSHING program.  

Once accepted and enrolled in the program, participants will be expected to attend each of the sessions so they may benefit from all that the program has to offer.  

THE SELECTION PROCEDURE: 

Participants will be selected from across different areas of the community.  In order to select a diversified group, the committee may choose to limit the number of participants from any single occupational background (Industry).  The selection committee will look for individuals with the ability to set and achieve goals, availability of time and resources to give to community services, and individuals who have demonstrated some type of personal commitment to the Cushing Community at one time or another.  

LEADERSHIP CUSHING will select a maximum of 15 participants from candidates who have applied or have been nominated by their employers, a community organization, or a member of the community.  Applications are requested from individuals most apt to use their leadership for long-term benefit to the community.  

Participants that are selected will also be representing their affiliated businesses.  LEADERSHIP CUSHING not only helps develop future leaders in the community but also offers several networking opportunities with other businesses, developing lasting relationships between multiple Business professionals, political Leaders, community leaders, and so on. 

Adult professionals that are selected for the class develop a close relationship as well, and keep those connections and relationships well after the program has ended.  Lifelong Friendships and business relationships develop quickly from the connections made between participants.
