The Chamber’s Leadership Fredericksburg program graduated its nineteenth class during a May 15th ceremony at the Fredericksburg Country Club.
The 2026 class was led by five faculty with extensive experience with leadership development and training: Dr. David Corderman (Academy Leadership Associates), Janel Donohue (J. Donohue Leadership and Consulting), Dr. J.R. Flatter (Flatter, Inc.), Susan Spears (FRCC) and Dr. Kimberly Young (University of Mary Washington). Over nine months the class met in different business locations throughout the region. They learned key leadership content and took two assessments. They met with community, business, nonprofit, and educational leaders, who offered the fellows insights about their personal leadership journeys. Each fellow was paired with a trained mentor from the business community who supported their progress throughout the program.
Prior to graduation, four teams from the class of 32 presented the results of their Community Action Projects for four local non-profits, Downtown Greens, F.A.D.E.D Foundation, Friends of the Rappahannock and Topside CAREs. Each team presented their deliverables during the Project Presentations at Germanna Community College on Thursday May 7th, 2026.
