August 02, 2022

In July, 15 Arvada business and non-profit professionals graduated from the Arvada Chamber’s 2022 Leadership Bootcamp. Completed across 12 weeks, this program is designed for current managers or supervisors or anyone who is looking to move into more of a leadership role in the future as well as anyone interested in honing their management and leadership skills.

Leadership Bootcamp explores one or two topics each week on a proven leadership methodology taught by an expert in that field of personal leadership, leading others, or leading a business.

“Leadership Bootcamp has opened my eyes to how I interact with my team, my family, and others in the community,” said Michelle Stout, Recreation Coordinator at Apex Park and Recreation. “It has taught me that all people and personalities are important in the workplace. There’s always something new to learn and grow to become a better leader in our community.”
