An exciting opportunity awaits you through the Broome Leadership Institute Program. The program will be entering its 33rd year as a highly respected community leadership training and development program offered through the Greater Binghamton Education Outreach Program (GBEOP) – an affiliate organization of the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce.
The Broome Leadership Institute was created under the belief that the future prosperity of a community lies in its people. The goal of the program is to identify people like you who are interested in playing a key role in making Greater Binghamton the best that it can be.
The benefits are tremendous: you will meet key decision-makers face-to-face; you will gain a broader understanding of the issues affecting life in our region; you will learn new skills and make invaluable professional contacts; you will gain the knowledge, experience and contacts needed to make a positive difference in our community; and you may have some fun along the way.
