To support the development of manufacturing in Licking County and to serve as a sounding board for new ideas relating to industrial growth.

Luncheon meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at various locations.

This group is made up of over 25 local manufacturing leaders that have a great interest in the Licking County Area.

Steve Cohen of Screen Machine Industries is the Chairman.

In 1982 The Newark Area Chamber of Commerce formed the Leadership Tomorrow program. Today a new educational partnership sponsored by The Licking County Chamber of Commerce; C-TEC; the Newark Campus of The Ohio State University and The Central Ohio Technical College called  Community Leadership of Licking County has replaced that organization. The purpose of Community Leadership is to identify a broad variety of citizens from Licking County who have demonstrated an interest in assuming greater leadership roles; to educate them through programs that broaden and deepen their knowledge of the county’s challenges and opportunities; and, to inspire them to commit their future leadership activities individually and/or collectively to areas that will result in advancing the welfare of the people of our community.  For more information, please contact Linda Linham, Executive Director at 740.344.1721.
