The result is a talented and diverse class of 18 participants who will take part in this unique leadership program.
“Leadership Randolph is a quality educational experience for a select group of individuals from Randolph County. The Class of 2027 includes individuals with various backgrounds and from many different professions. Their range of experiences will provide diverse perspectives as they learn and grow together as leaders who are ready to make a difference in our community,” stated Karrah Washington, Chamber Executive Director and coordinator of the Leadership Randolph program.
Leadership Randolph is a program of the Chamber that seeks to develop and prepare leaders to move Randolph County forward. The Chamber is grateful to the sponsors of Leadership Randolph, including Citizens Bank of West Virginia, Davis Trust Company, Kolsun Media, Mountaineer Insurance Services, Inc., the Randolph County Development Authority, Common Door / Coworking Space, and Kristie Vandevander, CPA | Vandevander & Nypl, CPAs, AC!
