Leadership Carbon
Building Leaders for Our Community
Leadership Carbon is an adult leadership development program, headquartered at the CCEDC office in partnership with Lehigh Carbon Community College, designed to cultivate knowledgeable, skilled, committed and action-oriented community leaders for the benefit of Carbon County's future.
