Leadership Brunswick County is now accepting applications! Leadership Brunswick County is a program sponsored by Brunswick Community College and the Southport-Oak Island Area, North Brunswick and Brunswick County Chambers of Commerce to develop corps of informed, committed and qualified individuals capable of providing dynamic leadership for Brunswick County.

Applicants must reside and/or work in Brunswick County and desire to participate in a nine-month program that promises to challenge and enrich them.

A limited number of leaders/emerging leaders will be selected to participate in Leadership Brunswick County. They will meet one day each month beginning September 2022 through May 2023 with existing leaders from business, government, and education, to explore the needs of Brunswick County and better understand the individuals and services responsible for meeting those needs.
