Leadership Coffee County, a program provided by the Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, is designed to foster the growth and development of leadership skills amongst our local area professionals. Throughout the course of this program, participants spend the year networking throughout the community, practicing teamwork and communication building skills, increasing knowledge of the local area and improving leadership abilities.

The Community Impact Grant Application offers an opportunity to evaluate the needs of our local community. The selection committee, in collaboration with the Leadership Coffee County Class of 2025, will review each application, taking into account the identified needs, available resources, potential fundraising opportunities, and the feasibility of implementing a successful project.
