The Hope-Hempstead County Chamber of Commerce recently celebrated the graduation of the Leadership Hope-Hempstead County Class of 2024, marking another successful year of community engagement, leadership development, and personal growth. The Chamber is now looking ahead to welcoming the Leadership Class of 2025 and is excited about the opportunities the new class will bring to participants and the community.

Chamber Executive Director Christy Burns shared her thoughts on the program’s continued impact:

“We recently graduated a wonderful Leadership Hope-Hempstead County Class of 2024 and are very excited to embark on this journey with a new class for 2025. No matter how long you’ve lived in Hope or Hempstead County, you’ll gain new insights about your community and build relationships you never had before.”

The Leadership Hope-Hempstead County program, designed to foster civic responsibility and encourage leadership, offers participants the chance to engage in various sectors of the community, including education, healthcare, government, and local business. The Chamber encourages anyone interested in becoming more involved in the community or expanding their professional network to consider applying for the Class of 2025.

Sponsorship opportunities for the 2025 Leadership Hope-Hempstead County are also available.  Sponsors are a crucial part of this program’s success, and their support makes these opportunities possible.
