The Leadership Atmore program, established in 1993, is an initiative led by the Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce aimed at identifying and developing leadership potential within the community. It brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds to enhance their leadership skills, broaden their understanding of community issues, and foster civic involvement.

The nine-month program includes an overnight retreat, seven full-day interactive sessions, and a graduation. Participants engage in discussions with current leaders, exploring the social and economic factors shaping Atmore. The program is designed to improve problem-solving and communication skills while creating a strong network of informed citizens, who are working to make a difference in the lives of Atmore residents.
