The United Way of Gloucester County, the County of Gloucester, and Rowan College of South Jersey representatives signed a Memorandum of Understanding on March 11th, 2024, to start a new program called Lead Gloucester County (Lead GC). This comprehensive certificate course aims to develop a pool of well-informed, skilled and resourceful individuals, positioned to serve as business and community leaders in Gloucester County.

“Lead GC exists to educate, empower, engage and enhance the individual and collective capabilities of our next-generation leaders to advance their careers and to foster progress and prosperity in our county,” shared Michael Gower, Executive Director of United Way of Gloucester County. “With many of our businesses, corporations, and nonprofit organizations facing succession challenges, this program seeks to create well-informed and empathetic leaders who are ready to fill open roles. Through transformative leadership experiences and a structured overview of the issues and opportunities facing Gloucester County, Lead GC enhances the industry and position-specific training employers may currently offer,” he added.

Hosted by RCSJ President Dr. Fred Keating, the signing included the Lead GC founding members: Jim Jefferson, Deputy Director of the Gloucester County Board of County Commissioners, Joann Gattinelli, Commissioner Liaison to the Department of Economic Development, County Economic Development Director Tom Bianco, United Way of Gloucester County Executive Director Michael Gower, and United Way of Gloucester County Board Members Dr. Joanne Connor and Claire Riggs.
