Limerick Chamber Looks to its Future Leaders

Limerick Chamber has kicked off its Regional Leaders’ Programme aimed at developing leaders for the future in the mid-west region and beyond through mentorship and skills sharing. The programme is being delivered by Limerick Chamber in partnership with Dell EMC and the University of Limerick and got underway at an event hosted by Dell EMC at its campus in Raheen Business Park.

Following on from the success of the Limerick Chamber’s recent leadership mentoring programme, this new initiative will support skill development among 150 current and future business leaders. The Regional Leaders’ Programme will run on a bi-monthly basis at Dell EMC’s Limerick Campus. Over a networking lunch, each session will involve an address from one of the country’s well known executives – someone from either the private or public sector.

The programme will be made up of five leadership talks over the course of 12 months. The first will be delivered by Denis Brosnan, former CEO, Kerry Group on February 21st. Each of these leadership talks are private sessions for the 150 participants signed up to the programme.

Commenting on the programme, Dr James Ring, CEO, Limerick Chamber, said: “Our Regional Leaders’ Programme is aimed at professionals who want to develop their leadership skills or for companies who would like to increase the capacity of their internal talent pool to ensure the next generation of their company is in safe hands. We are delighted to partner with Dell EMC and the University of Limerick on this initiative. Experts from both organisations will be centrally involved in the delivery of the programme at Dell EMC’s campus.”
