WC Leads Announces Second Cohort
HYPE Wayne County (Helping Young Professionals Engage) as an action committee of the Wayne County Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the second cohort for WC Leads.
WC Leads is HYPE’s leadership academy, created in 2021 for young professionals. This program is a 12-week course that includes leadership development on hot topic leadership issues including program development, emotional intelligence, communication, and learning styles. Each cohort member is matched with a community leader mentor who meets with the mentee throughout the program. These cohort members will be announced publicly at the Chamber’s 2022 Business Summit and will celebrate their graduation at the 2023 Annual Dinner.
