On November 9, Leadership Bend graduates, supporters and community members will gather to toast the 30th anniversary of this beloved Central Oregon leadership development program. Chamber members and the community are invited to join in the celebration at Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall at 5:30 p.m. Tickets and more details are available at www.bendchamber.org/LB30.

Over the years, Leadership Bend has graduated nearly 600 alumni. Many of these individuals now serve our region through nonprofit board participation, elected office, volunteerism, and organizational leadership. Leadership Bend is supported by donations from those who believe that a healthy community comes from investment in leadership.
