LEWISTON — On Wednesday, Sept. 13, from 4 to 9 p.m., the Androscoggin Leadership Development Institute will begin with weekly sessions through the beginning of December.
Hosted every fall by the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce, ALDI is designed to enhance leadership abilities through skill-building and interactive sessions with experienced leaders.
The program motivates aspiring leaders to assume positions of greater responsibility in business, community organizations and government. It also fosters a greater understanding of the current and future needs of our community and the opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful difference in addressing those needs.
Sessions will be primarily held in the chamber’s conference room at 415 Lisbon St. A few will be held in the local area.
This year, ALDI is facilitated by Steve Pecukonis, principal consultant with HRD Associates, a human resource development training and consulting firm he founded in 1985. Pecukonis works with clients from business, industry, government, health care, social services and education. He has served as adjunct faculty at the University of Maine at Augusta, Thomas College and Central Maine Community College, and has facilitated more than 65 community leadership development programs around the state since 1987.
In his years of corporate and independent work, Pecukonis has developed special expertise in interpersonal and organizational communication, leadership and management skills development, organizational development and team-building. He is a frequent conference speaker and seminar leader throughout the Northeast. Prior to starting his independent training and consulting practice, Pecukonis held management, personnel and training positions with General Mills and Digital Equipment Corp. He also served as director of training and consulting services for a private, nonprofit health care organization.
The cost for ALDI is $750 and includes all materials. More information and registration is available at www.LAMetroChamber.com. For questions, call 207-783-2249.
