The three-month program includes four sessions, each focusing on a different aspect of leadership development: teambuilding, communication, community activism and effective leadership. Speakers for the various sessions include local community leaders like etiquette and communication expert Cindy Grosso, representatives from the Charleston Regional Development Alliance (CRDA), George Stevens of the Coastal Community Foundation, Jennet Alterman of the Center for Women, as well as other local businesses and industries.

“We designed this program to help our members develop their leadership and communication skills, which will help them not only if they choose to pursue a leadership role with the Association or in the community, but also in their day-to-day business. We provide the opportunity for our members to learn from those who have achieved success in real estate as well as other industries” said Wil Riley, CEO of CTAR.
