LGS Class 30

Leadership Grand Strand Announces Class Roster, Community Service Projects

Twenty-five business and community members were recently selected for Leadership Grand Strand Class 30. The nine-month program, which begins in August, explores such topics as historical aspects of the Grand Strand, tourism and economic development, business, education, criminal justice, human services, government and the arts. Leadership Grand Strand is sponsored by the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

In its 30 years of service to the community, Leadership Grand Strand has tackled real community needs as part of each class's graduation requirements. Each member is required to volunteer 100 hours toward community projects. For 2009-2010, 75 hours will be spent helping Youth Leadership Academy, Horry County Disabilities and Special Needs and The Salvation Army. For the remaining 25 hours, class members will volunteer for a community organization of their choice.
