First Friday Coffee to highlight 2007 Leadership Cape presentations

The First Friday Coffee this week will highlight the 2007 Leadership Cape Project Presentations in the Show Me Center. Each year the Leadership Cape participants form groups and create a community initiative or project for future consideration. The four Leadership Cape groups convene each month during their training program to design their idea and work as a team. This Friday, the project ideas will be presented to the Chamber membership.

Leadership Cape is a seven-month leadership development training opportunity for community leaders to spend time getting to know the many facets of the Cape Girardeau area. Leadership Cape is led by volunteers serving on the Leadership Development Committee, who also are graduates of the Leadership Cape Program.

"The Leadership Cape projects are indeed one of the highlights of the program and it's exciting to see some of the projects and ideas considered for the future of the Cape Girardeau area," stated John Mehner, president and CEO of the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce.
