MARSHALL Â Part of building a strong community is encouraging leadership and getting people involved, Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce president Brad Gruhot said. With those goals in mind, the Marshall Area Chamber is bringing back the Marshall Leadership Academy program. Starting this fall, participants will learn about different areas of Marshall’s community and economy, and get hands-on experience working on a community project.
The idea behind the Leadership Academy is to get some new people involved in the Marshall community, as well as to retain potential community leaders, so “They feel like they’re part of the community,” said MACC marketing director Erin Raveling.
