If
you or a member of your staff have an interest in learning about
the important issues and challenges facing the Lebanon Valley, meeting
the individuals who chart the course for our community and receiving
training in leadership skill areas, then Leadership Lebanon Valley
is the program for you!
We hope that you will take a minute to consider being part of this
program, and then circulate the brochure and application among the
other people in your office so they may have the same opportunity.
Leadership Lebanon Valley, a program of the Lebanon Valley Chamber
of Commerce, provides a unique opportunity for individuals to gain
an overview of the Lebanon Valley area and to develop leadership
skills and knowledge that will benefit themselves, their employers
and our community.

begin in June. To obtain further information about Leadership
Lebanon Valley, contact Peggy Kreiser at the Chamber at 273-3727

 The
2009 Leadership Lebanon Valley Class chose to fulfill the mission
and purpose of Leadership Lebanon Valley in a manner not previously

to the class on “Justice Day”, which is negatively impacting
Lebanon County at an increasing rate as in other counties, was the

The class was also unable to see a demonstration by the Lebanon
City Police Department’s “drug dog” as it was
explained to us that the city currently only had one canine and
it was unavailable. The second canine had recently died unexpectedly
and at the time the officer from the Drug Task Force didn’t
know how this enforcement void would be filled or where the funding
to potentially purchase another canine would come from. It was shared
that the cost to purchase a trained narcotics detection/patrol dog
was approximately $11,000 and not budgeted for in 2009.
