Lake Norman Chamber accepts 19 High School Juniors in Leadership program
The Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce has accepted nineteen area High School Juniors in its 2024-2025 Junior Leadership Lake Norman program. The program, administered by the Chamber of Commerce, is coordinated by the 2023-2024 graduates of the Chamber’s Adult Leadership Lake Norman as a service project. Students will learn more about their community during this intensive and rewarding seven-month long program. The leadership development program was specifically created to inform, motivate and increase the overall awareness of selected high school students through educational seminars and interaction with various decision makers of local businesses, government agencies and civic organizations.
The students were selected based on their previous and potential leadership ability and community involvement. This year’s class (Class XIII) includes students from Hough High School, The Community School of Davidson, Lake Norman Charter, Pine Lake Prep, and Southlake Christian School.
The students include: Anthony Alexanian, Bailey Rowles, Bridget Anthony, Christian McConnell, Ella Eason, Ethan Tomko, Gabriel White, Grant Fischtha, Henry Tipton, Jackson Hartsell, Jackson Munro, Jaden Beschea-Fache, Lucas Rivera, Luke Wetherbee, Noah Clarke, Robert Anderson, Sophie Chilton, Stevie Seymoure, and William Heller.
The program kicked off with a retreat at Rural Hill where students participated Leadership Diversity Sessions and Teambuilding exercises facilitated by Eric Rowles, CEO – Leading to Change and Leela Zile - Founder of Ahimsa Childbirth Services.
