The Leadership Cashiers Alumni Network was established in 2019 by the inaugural Leadership Cashiers class to ensure the program's long-term sustainability and continued impact on the community. All current and future program graduates are invited and encouraged to actively engage with the Alumni Network through opportunities such as task force and leadership roles, networking events, program participation as guest speakers, sponsorships, and more.
Annual graduate contributions of $75 help the Alumni Network achieve its mission to:
- Provide Financial Support: Fund scholarships for future class participants in need, and cover costs for program materials, meals, meeting spaces, and community outreach initiatives.
- Foster Community Engagement: Create opportunities for alumni to stay informed and engaged with local issues, events, and developments.
- Develop Leadership Talent: Serve as a proven resource for leadership within the community, supporting businesses, non-profits, and local organizations.
- Strengthen Connectivity: Build lasting connections among Leadership Cashiers graduates, current participants, program sponsors, the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce, the business community, and local government officials.
