Leadership Tift is a program of the Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce which provides a learning experience for existing and emerging leaders of Tift County. Participants of the program will be given the opportunity to develop an understanding of the promises and problems of Tift County and the diversity of the region.

The program is designed to be an educational experience. As such, Leadership Tift will not attempt to create a consensus of opinions or to promote any specific issue. Participants will be encouraged to take their increased knowledge of the community, awareness of its institutions, and familiarity with its leaders into their world, and involve themselves in all areas of community life. Utilizing their leadership capabilities with a broader understanding of the complexities our diverse community represents, participants will be better prepared to lead Tifton to a better future.

Tuition for each participant is $550.00. Each participant is responsible for paying their own tuition or have planned arrangements for payment by their employer and/or a sponsoring organization. The fee must be remitted prior to the March Kickoff. Fees may be used to provide honorariums for speakers, transportation, meals, social activities, and administrative cost.

The Chamber is seeking a diverse group in terms of race, sex and occupation. Participants should represent a cross-section of individuals from various businesses, social services, neighborhoods, religions, cultures, and educational organizations. Successful applicants in the past have exhibited a promising degree of community involvement, leadership potential, and professional achievement. All applicants should be employed or live in Tift County.

If you have any questions or would like an application, please reach out to the Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce at 229-382-6200 or email mcowart@tiftonchamber.org. We are excited to be kicking back off our leadership program this year and look forward to a great program!
