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
