Tori Cliff, Director of Communication for Jackson State Community College, graduated with the most recent Leadership Jackson class.
A total of thirty local business professionals graduated from the Jackson Chambers 2012 Leadership Jackson class on Thursday, December 13.
Leadership Jackson, the chambers adult leadership development program, gives business professionals employed with companies that are chamber members the opportunity to better understand the community, the opportunities and the challenges it faces. The three-month program gives class members the chance to visit community landmarks, meet with area leaders and participate in weekly sessions about topics impacting Jackson-Madison County, including education, healthcare and government.
It was a truly unique program, said Cliff. It stretched me in many ways and taught me so much about this community. We have so much to be thankful for here in Jackson. In the areas where we may have room for improvement, the Leadership Jackson experience encouraged me to try to make a positive impact.
Cliff, who has been at Jackson State since December 2012, earned her bachelors degree in Journalism from Middle Tennessee State University located in Murfreesboro, Tenn. She then went on to receive a masters degree in Journalism from The University of Memphis located in Memphis, Tenn.
