A popular program offered by the Washington Chamber of Commerce is getting ready to start.  Michelle Peiffer with the Chamber says Leadership Washington is an eight month program where those coming get exposed to key industries, businesses, communications, the government and history of Washington and Washington County.

She says each monthly session involves a different topic and class sizes typically run around 20 individuals.  The tuition fee is $225 for Chamber members.  Non-Chamber members will be accepted if space allows for an additional $50.  All applications need to be returned to the Chamber Office.
