Leadership Northeast Missouri is a leadership development program designed and launched by Missouri Northeast, the region’s economic development arm, to build, strengthen and inspire leaders through training and networking experiences. “We saw a need to bring leaders together to help them learn more about our area, the issues, and to connect them with other communities in order to grow together as a region,” said Carolyn Chrisman, Missouri Northeast Treasurer. “The program launched in 2018 and was very successful. We are thrilled to report that 2024 was another great class that truly built on the overall success of the program. We are looking forward to continuing this important program for many years to come.”
Information about the 2025 Leadership Northeast Missouri program will be available in January.
