U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., will be the featured speaker at the Catoosa Leadership Class of 2010 graduation luncheon Thursday, June 3 at The Colonnade.
The senator is expected to talk about qualities of leadership and update attendees about current work in the nation’s capital, according to Martha Eaker, president and CEO of the Catoosa County Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber sponsors Leadership Catoosa, and Eaker said it is a program that provides a broad overview of the county to those who are, or may become, community leaders.
“It was a great introduction to the community,” said Eaker, a Class of 1997 Leadership Catoosa graduate. “I’d lived here for years but had not gotten involved with so many facets that make up our community. It was a revelation to find out what the various government departments and agencies do. It was very enlightening.”
