Chamber Seeking Leadership Cherokee Nominees

The Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce is accepting nominations for the Leadership Cherokee Class of 2025.

Sponsored each year by the Chamber, over 710 people have graduated from Leadership Cherokee since the program began in 1987.

“A community engagement program, Leadership Cherokee produces experienced leaders for business, civic and political roles in our community,” said Eric Rein, senior vice president and commercial relationship officer for Renasant Bank, and 2024 Chamber Board Chair.

Leadership Cherokee aims to expand participants’ knowledge and appreciation of Cherokee County.

“Monthly programs for the Leadership Cherokee Class of 2025 will focus on a variety of topics such as education, justice, infrastructure, public safety, healthcare, government, tourism, social services and economic development,” said Tracey Satterfield Martin, owner of Live Clean, Inc. and 2025 Leadership Cherokee Chair.

Nominations for Leadership Cherokee will be accepted through Oct. 1.

Based upon the number of applications submitted, the chamber will determine the number of candidates to be interviewed. The class, which varies in size each year, will be chosen in November with the program running January to September 2025.

The program costs $1,100 for chamber members and $1,350 for non-chamber members.
