Eighteen leaders bettered themselves last week as the Leadership Atmore Class of 2017 went on an annual opening retreat at Camp Beckwith in Fairhope.
The class spent the day last Wednesday going through the camp’s ropes course and lower elements to help build leadership and team skills, and get to know each other.
Leadership Atmore began in 1993 by the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce as a way of identifying leaders and providing a base of knowledge about the Atmore community. At present, more than 400 participants have graduated from LA.
The members of the Leadership Atmore Class of 2017 include: Mallorie Beachy, Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce; Emmie Jernigan, Comfort Care Hospice; Megan White, United Bank; Stephanie Bell, Homestead Hospice; Hannah Johnson, United Bank; Kristie S. Williams, First National Bank and Trust; Amy Cabaniss, Escambia County Board of Education; Hope Lassiter, city of Atmore, library; Cody Vickrey, Pepsi Cola Bottling Co.; Paul Chason, Atmore Area YMCA; Stan Schrock, We Care Program; Silas Seamans, Atmore Realty; Philip Chance Jr., Bethel/McRae Street United Methodist Churches; Douglas Tanner, Atmore Community Hospital; Wendy Davis, Poarch Creek Indians; Carolyn White, PCI; Andrew Garner, Atmore Advance; and Daniel White, Atmore News.
