DELRAY BEACH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Leadership Delray: Where Passion Meets Purpose. “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” – Steve Jobs If you have a passion for the Delray Beach community and a desire to serve it in a leadership role, plan to participate in the Leadership Delray 2024 Class that kicks off on January 9! Leadership Delray is all about first-hand experiences and behind-the-scenes access. You’ll get an intimate look at how all facets of our community work and the challenges they face—education, healthcare, emergency services, local government, the arts and more – while exploring aspects of leadership. Here’s what some of Leadership Delray Class of <strong>2023</strong> have to say: “I thought I knew everything there was to know about Delray Beach and Palm Beach County. That was before joining Leadership Delray, which has proven to be a transformative learning experience for me both personally and professionally. This journey has proved to be beneficial and rewarding in many ways. I am proud to have established a strong support system, gained valuable insights, and built meaningful relationships. I am both humbled and grateful to have gained a deeper understanding and connection to my community.” -Shona Castillo, CROS Ministries “I would like to take the time to say thank you to the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce and Sarah Mears for hosting Leadership Delray. I’m a 23-year resident and a 17-year employee with the City of Delray Beach. Leadership Delray brought a mix of professionals together from all walks of life. I have a greater appreciation for other professions from the leadership visits.” -Theresa Gardner-Williams, City of Delray Beach “I want to share what a positive experience I had with Leadership Delray Beach. It was such a great opportunity to meet diverse individuals and leaders from both the Palm Beach County and the City of Delray Beach. I learned so much about our wonderful City, Delray Beach.” -Begoña Krane, City of Delray Beach Public Works Department “I joined the Chamber of Commerce to become an active part of the community. When the opportunity came to me to apply for the Leadership Delray program, I was so inspired and excited to learn about where we live. The program is thoughtfully executed, educational and fun. I have met so many great people and made many friends. Learning about the community has allowed me to feel more connected to the history and culture of our city. I have developed a new respect for all of the amazing people that serve Delray Beach behind the scenes and our local heroes.” - Michelle Sadownick, Realty Home Advisors Your <strong>2023</strong> Leadership Delray Graduating Class Includes: Alberto Angulo, City of Delray Beach Luis Baraldi, Studio Baral Keith Beal, Currie Sowards Aguila Architects Shona Castillo, CROS Ministries Terra Couzens, City of Delray Beach Nancy Fine, First Presbyterian Church Theresa Gardner-Williams, City of Delray Beach Elsa Gonzales-Soto, City of Delray Beach Christine Jax, Dr. Christine Jax Executive Coaching Lori Johnson, Delray Beach CRA Janet Kent, City of Delray Beach Begoña Krane, City of Delray Beach Daniel Listi, Delray Medical Center Judy Mollica, Ocean East Properties Miriam Naranjo, Schoolhouse Children’s Museum Karen Ondrick, Friend of the Chamber Paige Ottenbrite, Shining Sea Private Wealth Michelle Sadownick, Realty Home Advisors Dray Sauerbrun, TD Lawn Ranger LLC Andrea Smallwood, Northwestern Mutual Christine Tibbs, Delray Beach CRA Alyson Walzer-Grammatico, Delray Beach Public Library 74 | NOVEMBER <strong>2023</strong> | WWW.ATLANTICAVEMAGAZINE.COM Things you should know: Fee structure: Chamber Members - $750 Non-Chamber Members - $850 Leadership Delray 2024 Schedule Tuesday, January 9 – Orientation & History Tuesday, February 13 – Agriculture Day Tuesday, March 12 – The Arts and Most Fun Small Town Day Tuesday, April 9 – Public Safety Day Tuesday, May 14 – Media Day Tuesday, June 11 – Health & Wellness Day Tuesday, July 9 – City and County Systems Day Thursday, August 22 – Education Day Tuesday, September 10 – Sustainability Day October TBD – Do Good Delray Day Tuesday, <strong>November</strong> 26 – Legislative Breakfast & Graduation *Schedule is subject to change How to apply: Go to delraybeach.com/leadershipdelray CLASS OF <strong>2023</strong> AGRICULTURE DAY CLASS OF <strong>2023</strong> THE ARTS AND MOST FUN SMALL TOWN DAY COPYRIGHTED CLASS OF <strong>2023</strong> PUBLIC SAFETY DAY CLASS OF <strong>2023</strong> MEDIA DAY
