Leadership Randolph

The Elkins-Randolph County Chamber is proud to announce its Leadership Randolph Class of 2025. The Chamber received more applications for this class than they did for the class of ’23 or ’24. That fact made the selection process difficult, but it also means a talented, diverse class will participate in this unique program.

“Leadership Randolph is a quality educational experience for a select group of individuals from Randolph County. The Class of 2025 has individuals with various backgrounds, from many different professions. Their age range and backgrounds will also provide diverse perspectives as they learn and grow together as leaders ready to make a difference in our community,” stated Lisa Wood, Chamber Executive Director and Coordinator of the Leadership Randolph program.

Leadership Randolph is a program of the Chamber that seeks to develop and prepare leaders to move Randolph County forward. The Chamber is grateful to the sponsors of Leadership Randolph that includes the Citizens Bank of WV, Davis Trust Co., FirstEnergy, Mountaineer Insurance, the Randolph County Development Authority, Common Door, Davis & Elkins College, Davis Health System, Vandevander and Nypl CPAs, the Randolph County Housing Authority, and Woodlands Development & Lending.

Topics for the nine monthly sessions are Tourism, Economic Development, Housing, Healthcare, Education & Youth, Workforce & Hardwood Manufacturing, Government, Nonprofits & Volunteerism, and Agriculture. The program will conclude with a dinner and graduation ceremony in May, 2025.

The Leadership Randolph program is managed by graduates of Leadership West Virginia residing in Randolph County referred to as Leadership Randolph Ambassadors. Each session is facilitated by an ambassador or Chamber member with expertise in that session’s topic. Sessions include presentations, panel discussions, small group experiences, and, most importantly, field trips to various businesses and organizations across the county.

The Chamber and the Leadership Randolph Ambassadors congratulate the Leadership Randolph Class of 2025!
