Jefferson Leadership Institute

Gregor K. Smith, P.E. an Associate at Bernier, Carr & Associates, P.C. recently graduated from the Jefferson Leadership Institute sponsored by The Greater Watertown-North Country Chamber of Commerce. The Jefferson Leadership Institute is a leadership development program that immerses participants in community issues through twelve full day sessions that run from September through June. The curriculum enables participants to develop their leadership capabilities, build strong relationships and encourages involvement in effecting positive change in the community.

The program was formulated in 1991, when a number of community leaders recognized that the same few people were serving on many Boards, and that major community decisions were being made by a very small group of people. They recognized that the future of the Jefferson County area is directly linked to the quality of its leadership, and that dedicated, trained and motivated community leaders shape and determine the future of the region. The “founders” decided that a leadership program was needed to teach and cultivate new community leaders, and to help move those participants into important positions within the community.

Bernier, Carr & Associates, P.C. encourages and supports staff participation in the Jefferson Leadership Institute. Gregor joins Bernard H. Brown, Jr., AIA,  Mark B. Kimball, P.E., Kelly E. Reinhardt and Corey G. Reid, P.E. on the list of Bernier, Carr & Associates, P.C. graduates from the Jefferson Leadership Institute.
