Leadership Salem Quotes
Here's what past
participants have said about Leadership Salem:
“As I look back at last
year’s Leadership Salem experience, I had expected to learn a lot about
Salem and the community needs that we face, but I did not expect to meet
such a great group of friends. I very much enjoyed the time spent with my
classmates. Each program day had great content that was well organized, the
highlight for me was definitely the people!.”

know what to expect from Leadership Salem, but I have found this experience
to be overwhelmingly informative, humbling, and fun!. I have learned what
our city has to offer in terms of resources and then what our city is in
need of. I have jumped in and followed my passions and am proud to be a
volunteer in our community! Deanna Gwyn, Gladys Blum Realty Group, Class of

Leadership Salem with a belt, unaware of the fact it was meant to hold
tools. After going through the program that same belt weighs heavy on my
waist with a tool that can be used for virtually any community need.” Jason
Brandt, Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, Class of 2007.
