Leadership Ada is a program offered by the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce to members and non-members comprised of a series of educational sessions covering a multitude of issues facing the community.

Since 1985, the program has been identifying emerging leaders in our community, giving them a better understanding of the nature of community leadership, and putting them on the path to greater community involvement.

Over the course of the nine month program, attendees will be educated on community and civic leadership, community relationships, and the complexities of the community. Through the program, you learn about the history of Ada and the infrastructure of our community, network with business leaders, and develop friendships that will last a lifetime.
