LEWISTON — The Androscoggin Leadership Development Institute will hold weekly sessions from 4-9 p.m. through the end of November beginning Wednesday, Aug. 31.

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 the community and the opportunities for individuals to make a meaningful difference in addressing those needs. Sessions will be primarily held in the LA Metro Chamber’s conference room at 415 Lisbon St., Lewiston, but a few will be held in the local LA metro area.

The program is being facilitated by Steve Pecukonis, principal consultant with HRD Associates, a human resource development training and consulting firm he founded in 1985. He works with clients from business, industry, government, health care, social services and education. Prior to starting his independent training and consulting practice, he held management, personnel and training positions with General Mills and Digital Equipment Corp.

The cost for the Androscoggin Leadership Development Institute is $750 and includes all materials. More information and registration is available at www.LAMetroChamber.com. For questions, call 207-783-2249.
