What is Leadership in Action?

Leadership in Action (LIA) is a series of experiences designed to enhance personal and professional leadership qualities within the unique resources of Paulding County. The sessions explore leadership challenges and opportunities, using class time and tours, to provide the participant with a variety of leadership skills to be used in real world application.

Class size is limited to 20 people, and the participants application must be approved in order to attend. The challenges, speakers, tours and the interaction of the participants provide an unforgettable journey in the quest for leadership. The class will also plan and execute a community service project.

Participants meet monthly, September through May. The September meeting is mandatory and regular attendance is expected for the remainder of the program. Employers and participants will both be required to read and sign a letter of commitment.

A one-time tuition fee of $450.00 for current Chamber members or $500 for non-members helps to cover program fees, materials and meals. Payment is due prior to the first session in September.


Reservoir Park Pavilion & Public Restroom Renovation Project


The Leadership in Action team has decided to renovate the pavilion and public restrooms at Paulding Reservoir Park for their community service project. The fundraising goal is $50,000!!!

The primary goal of the proposed renovation project is to create a safer and more welcoming environment for our community to enjoy. 
The team believes that it will not only enhance the overall appeal and safety of the park but that this project reflects their commitment to giving back to Paulding County and its residents for years to come.





The renovated pavilion and restrooms will not only contribute to the beautification of the Paulding Reservoir Park but will also serve as a valuable asset for the entire community. To support this initiative, we invite you to consider making a charitable donation.
Please make checks payable to the Paulding County Area Foundation the memo line stating, “Leadership in Action Fund”.
