The Decatur Leadership Institute is a community-wide effort, facilitated by the Decatur Regional Chamber of Commerce, to ensure high-quality leadership to meet the present and future challenges that face the Decatur area. The program fills the need experienced by many communities for active involvement of informed and dedicated citizens in leadership roles. The list of past graduates is full of community leaders who now serve on various boards and committees throughout the Decatur and Macon County area. The future of Macon County is linked to the quality of its leadership. Be part of that future, and become an active, motivated leader through the Decatur Leadership Institute!

• Get involved in effecting positive change within the community
• Build strong relationships to lead and serve the Decatur/Macon County community
• Experience a behind-the-scenes look at community government, business and municipalities


Program participants attend 14 once-a-week sessions on Thursday mornings from 6:45 a.m. where they experience on-site learning and gain an inside view of the industries and issues that shape our region. The program also entails group-based service learning projects and concludes with a graduation ceremony in December.
