The 14th class of Leadership Nassau, the Amelia
Island-Fernandina Beach-Yulee Chamber of Commerce’s community leadership program, graduated May 15, 2014.
The 22 members wrapped up their 10-month immersion into the history,
economy, environment, government and culture of Nassau County with a
commencement ceremony during Business After Hours at the Fernandina Beach Golf Club.
Although the class members have completed Leadership Nassau, they will
continue to work on their class project to create a sustainable organization dedicated to the creation of a monument at the Nassau County Judicial Annex in Yulee.
The AIFBY Chamber is now accepting applications for Class 15 through Monday, July 1.
Leadership Nassau is open to any resident of Nassau County, but recruitment targets individuals with diverse geographical and socio-economic backgrounds and seeks a racial, gender and age mix reflective of the population. Cost is $650 for members of the Amelia Island-Fernandina Beach-Yulee Chamber of Commerce, $850 for non-members.
Applications for the 2014-15 Leadership Nassau class are available at the
Chamber, 961687 Gateway Blvd., Suite 101G, Amelia Island, and on the
Chamber’s website. To have an application e-mailed or faxed to you, contact the Chamber at [email protected] or (904) 261-3248.
