The OneZone Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications for its 2027 Leadership Institute, a seven-session program designed for emerging and established professionals in Hamilton County.

The program begins with a “Meet the Class” session on Dec. 10, 2026, followed by six leadership sessions during 2027. Registration costs $650 and includes all sessions. Participants may miss no more than two sessions to complete the program.

According to OneZone, the institute combines leadership instruction, meetings with community leaders and networking opportunities. Sessions will examine local government, agriculture, education, economic development, state government and quality-of-life issues.

The program is open to professionals at different stages of their careers, including emerging leaders, mid-level managers and experienced executives.

“The OneZone Leadership Institute was created to develop the next generation of leaders while strengthening the organizations and communities they serve,” OneZone President and CEO Jack Russell said.

Russell said participants will have an opportunity to develop leadership skills, expand their professional networks and learn more about the people and organizations shaping Hamilton County.

The 2027 class will be the second offered by OneZone following the launch of the inaugural Leadership Institute. Space is limited, according to the chamber.

More information and the application are available through the OneZone Chamber of Commerce website.
