Dawson County Commission Chairman Billy Thurmond, District 2 Commissioner Chris Gaines and County Manager David Headley attended the August Leadership Institute, a program of the Association of County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG), Aug. 23-25 in Blairsville.
The program is designed to help participants gain an in-depth understanding of how to communicate effectively. It allowed Thurmond, Gaines and Headley to assess their personal leadership styles, practice world-class leadership communication, explore how they disclose and present themselves and how this affects their relationships with others.
