MARSHFIELD — The Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s (MACCI) Leadership Marshfield program graduated 23 professionals on April 16 from this eight-month program. The class of 2015 was the 23rd of its kind. Nearly 600 individuals have gone through this professional training.

The purpose and objective of Leadership Marshfield is to identify current and potential leaders in the community and provide a training program that will enhance their ability to function as more effective leaders. They will then be better equipped to face the issues, problems, and challenges that will determine the community’s future.

MACCI’s Leadership Marshfield Council will start recruiting for the Class of 2015-16 in June. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a part of this program, contact Debbie Bauer at MACCI at debbiebauer@marshfieldchamber.com or call 715-384-3454.
