In today’s constantly changing and increasingly competitive world, the vital role of leadership is more important than it has ever been. Each year, Greater Grays Harbor, Inc. (GGHI) puts on Leadership Grays Harbor (LGH), a civic and professional development program based on key leadership principles.
This pivotal program works to connect people from different industries and backgrounds to grow as leaders, while learning about the Grays Harbor community. The curriculum is experience-based and explores issues affecting our community through meetings and discussions with established leaders, site visits, individual projects, and other activities.
LGH has produced over 500 graduates since its inception in 1995 from local business, non-profit, and government backgrounds and is known as the premier local program to grow both as a professional and community leader. The program serves as both a personal and professional leadership development program for those that live and work in Grays Harbor County. During the 2024 program, 19 business leaders graduated from the course and were celebrated for their efforts with a graduation ceremony in September.
