Centurions NOW - August 30, 2021
Aug 30, 2021
ANNOUNCING: NEW COHORT NAMES
In the fall, we modified the programming timeline to optimize the opportunity for in-person programming. With the modified timeline, the existing cohort names that are tied to a time frame are no longer applicable.
We are excited to announce that, effective immediately, the cohort names will be "Apex" (formerly “Spring”) and “Pinnacle” (formerly "Fall"). After careful consideration, Apex and Pinnacle were chosen as they represent a peak or summit. This is appropriate for the Centurions Leadership Program given its prominence as the premier leadership development program in the region. In addition, these names align with Chamber-branding and the Centurions chevron logo.
