MAR Public Policy Director, Erin Hervey, Graduates from Leadership Missouri
(Columbia, MO – October 20, 2011) Erin Hervey, Director of Public Policy for the Missouri Association of REALTORS® recently graduated from the Leadership Missouri program sponsored by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Nineteen qualified candidates completed the 2011 Leadership Missouri program.
Leadership Missouri was founded in 1990 to identify current and emerging leaders throughout Missouri, enhance their leadership skills and deepen their knowledge of the challenges and opportunities facing our state. A program of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Leadership Missouri was founded on the belief that the community, just as any business or organization, requires strong leadership to grow and improve. Governor Jay Nixon serves as the Honorary Chair of the Leadership Missouri program.
The seven-month program began in April with a trip to our state’s capitol in Jefferson City. Consecutive sessions were held each month in Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Sedalia, and Rolla/Ft. Leonard Wood. The program ended with graduation ceremonies held at Tan-Tar-A in Lake Ozark.
