In a cooperative effort, the Algonquin/Lake in the Hills Chamber of Commerce offers an adult leadership program, which alternates each year between the two Village the Chamber serves. The Leadership Program is a nine-month program which meets the second Friday each month beginning in May and ending in February with a Graduation Ceremony where family and friends are invited to celebrate and honor each participants accomplishments.  Through this Program, individuals who may or may not already be involved, will gain not only a greater understanding of their community, but also introduce participants to current leaders and form a support network for the future.

Janet Morse, a Lake in the Hills resident and an alumni of the Lake in the Hills Community Leadership School had this to say about the program, “I felt a much greater connection to and understanding of Lake in the Hills and how everything interconnects after completing Leadership School. It was a powerful reminder that there are things out there much bigger than ourselves and that every individual can make a difference. On a personal level, I felt a great sense of empowerment and a stronger ability to take control of my destiny”.
