About Leadership Fargo Moorhead West Fargo
"The leadership program provides a unique opportunity to gain leadership training, a sense of community and expanded networking. The long standing tradition of program excellence has created many community leaders in Fargo Moorhead. Community leadership is essential to sustaining a strong sense for "quality of place." The Chamber Leadership program continues to truly making a difference! I strongly encourage any chamber member organization to support the Fargo Moorhead leadership program."

“If you are looking for a fast track program to learn a wealth of information about the area you call home, while meeting some of the most dynamic leadership the community has to offer, then I highly recommend Leadership Fargo Moorhead West Fargo. From the very first session I made connections with other local leaders and over the nine-month period I learned a great deal about myself and the team I was a part of. I can’t think of a better program going today that offers more insight on your strengths and opportunities while at the same time becoming educated about your civic environment."

"The Leadership Fargo Moorhead West Fargo program was a great opportunity for me to grow professionally, learn about our community, and network with others. The program balances leadership training with team activities to successfully help everyone grow, regardless of their industry or years of experience. I found the environment to be very diverse, friendly, and conducive to new opportunities. Many of the participants in our 08-09 FML class, including myself, have done things we never thought or expected to do; for this reason, we have grown together and will always have a common bond."
