The Chamber’s Leadership program (Gateway to Leadership) is an innovative community program designed to identify and motivate emerging and/or relocated leaders and to develop their potential for community leadership roles by acquainting them with the opportunities, realities and challenges of the community. This project is in its eleventh year and has impacted over 180 emerging business owners/managers.

Once a future leader completes this 12-month course, they are better equipped to take on present and future leadership roles in the Poplar Bluff area. At the end of the program, they receive a wall plaque and are recognized in the Chamber newsletter and at the Chamber’s annual banquet.

• Having a better understanding of the community
• Becoming more familiar with community leaders
• Recognizing the interactions between private citizens and public organizations
• Seeing Poplar Bluff in terms of “the big picture”
