Leadership Columbia County Executive Forum Class of 2024
The Leadership Columbia County Executive Forum is a three-day condensed program that occurs every two years. The program covers all aspects of our community, including workforce and education, government, law enforcement, military, business and industry, healthcare, non-profits and quality of life. The Executive Forum is targeted to senior level executives who may not have the time to invest in our traditional 9-month Leadership program. This is a distinct honor, as we considered numerous qualified and inspiring leaders from the greater Augusta area. The knowledge and relationships built are invaluable. Program class members are selected by invitation only, and include the class member’s spouse.
