The Purposes of Commerce Leadership Institute (herein known as CLI) are to identify and prepare individuals within the community for increased leadership and civic involvement, and assist them in increasing their potential to become community leaders.
The CLI Experience
CLI is a process to teach members of the community about the history and civic structure of Commerce and Hunt County, and to prepare them to lead into the future.
Alton L. Biggs
Commerce has become more important to me every year since I was in the group, even though I live in Greenville. In the years since our group, I have been involved with band boosters, sports boosters and a food outreach with our church.
Cameron Grubert
I gleaned a better understanding of the history of Commerce; which provided a great foundation to better understand the town today.
Teena Ayres
It is a chance to learn about the community and to meet and network with its leaders.
Michael Barera
The Commerce Leadership Institute is a wonderful experience allowing participants to connect with leaders within the community as well as growing a greater appreciation of our community. I was hesitant to commit the time but it ended up being well worth the investment.
