NEW ULM — The New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce is now accepting applications for the 2020-2021 Network New Ulm (NNU) Community Leadership Program, and (for NNU alums), Network New Ulm Leadership 2.0!

The Network New Ulm Community Leadership Program was organized by Blandin Leadership Alumni, and sponsored each year by the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce. The 2019-2020 class has graduated, so we are now seeking applicants for the 2020-2021 class.

Sessions are held once a month from September through May. Network New Ulm seeks to build a stronger community by providing a group of emerging and existing leaders with opportunities to enhance their community knowledge, civic network, and leadership skills. Individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences are invited to apply. Approximately twenty-four participants, who represent a cross-section of the community in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, occupation, and organization, will be selected.

Network New Ulm Leadership 2.0 takes a deeper dive into personal leadership and how it can impact the future of the entire community. Leadership 2.0 is only open to graduates of the Network New Ulm Community Leadership Program (any year).

More information, brochures, and applications for both leadership programs are available at newulm.com, or by contacting the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce at chamber@newulm.com or 507-233-4300.
