The Aurora Regional Chamber of Commerce Leadership Academy is offered to representatives of member businesses and organizations and is designed to prepare a select group of qualified candidates for future leadership roles in the Aurora area.
PETER TARGOS, CATERPILLAR: “We all learned how to improve our personal leadership skills, how those skills are used locally by leaders in our community, and most importantly how we can apply what we learned through practice and giving back to our community.”
During the past three decades, more than 400 have graduated from the program. Alumni have moved up the corporate ladder to executive positions; they have been elected or appointed to leadership roles in local and state government; they have become involved in numerous boards and advisory groups in the community.

From the U.S. Chamber’s Free Enterprise Publication:
If the maxim is true that when one economic powerhouse sneezes, another catches a cold, then the United States may be feeling a bit under the weather now.
Greece, Spain, and Italy may be thousands of miles away, but in today’s increasingly globalized world, the sovereign debt crisis in those countries could be preventing a more robust economic recovery in the United States.
“The U.S. doesn’t have the choice to insulate itself from what’s happening in the European economy,” says U.S. Chamber Senior Vice President for International Affairs Myron Brilliant. “Our two economies are so intertwined and the relationship is so broad and deep that we can’t isolate ourselves from Europe’s economic problems.”
Europe is the United States’ largest commercial partner, with a relationship valued at more than $5 trillion. Together the two economies constitute nearly half of world GDP and 40% of world trade. U.S. companies employ millions of Europeans, and European companies here do the same.
That level of integration—and the 17-nation eurozone’s struggle to overhaul its institutions and streamline its decision making to restore investors’ confidence—has many U.S. businesses feeling uneasy.
