	*Leadership Franklin* History and Purpose Leadership Franklin, developed by the Fanning Institute for Leadership and Community Development at the University of Georgia, is committed to bettering the Franklin County and Northeast Georgia community by focusing on local empowerment, leadership development, and skills transfer that enable our community to achieve business, civic, and educational goals. Implemented by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce in 1997, this dynamic leadership program has been committed to bringing sustainable community transformation to the Northeast Georgia area for ten years. Participants in Leadership Franklin are empowered to be proactive leaders in every area of our community. Leadership Training Skills taught through Leadership Franklin are keys in personal career development within any organization or company. One tenet of this leadership program holds that no one group or person has all the necessary skills, knowledge, talents, and experience required of leadership today. Exposure to diverse leadership styles and philosophies is a critical component of leadership development. In keeping with this tenet, uniquely qualified local leaders teach each of the leadership modules in the course. These leaders bring their local expertise and perspective to the class, while using the Fanning Institute materials for the training. Modules include Understanding Leadership, Communicating Effectively, Making Group Decisions, Building Communities through Collaboration, and Leading Community Change. Other classes include information and provide experiences regarding current and future economic development in Franklin County .
