Lawrence taps 32 students for Youth Leadership

MOULTON — The Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce chose 32 students from seven high schools to participate in the chamber's 2007-08 Youth Leadership Class.

The nine-month program helps students learn about team building, leadership and politics, how to network with student leaders from across Lawrence County, and how to work with community leaders, said chamber Executive Director Vicki Morese.
