The Chamber has been mighty busy the past couple of weeks. We are proud to share that we launched our 2018-2019 Jr. Leadership Program Tuesday, Oct. 9. Through a highly competitive process, 24 high school students from across the county will join us through six months of educational field trips to explore Sampson County and beyond.
Our Jr. Leadership program will offer these students an exclusive look at the endless opportunities Sampson County has to offer. Juniors will meet with several community, county and state leaders providing an invaluable networking opportunity. Many thanks to the Chamber Steering Committee who has helped to plan this years Jr. Leadership.
