Are full scholarships offered for non-profits?
The cost for nonprofit organizations that are Morris Chamber members is $2300 and $3300 for non-members.  We may offer a limited number of scholarships to non-profits thanks to the generosity of the LEAD Morris Alumni. 

When is payment due?
Payment is due prior to the orientation meeting in January or early February.  If payment is not received by the second session, the Chamber reserves the right to revoke the acceptance and remove participant from class.  Refunds are available up until the orientation meeting.

What is the class size?
We accept up to 40 applicants into the program each year.

How often does the class meet?
The class starts the end of January or beginning of February with an all-day orientation.  We then meet once a month with a graduation at a local venue in November or December.  

What is the length of time for each class session?
The class typically meets from 9 am to 4 pm with a break for a group lunch and opportunities for casual socializing after class.  Depending on the day and location, the class may meet earlier or stay later.  

​Are we allowed to miss any sessions?
Full participation is encouraged, however we understand that personal and professional obligations may interfere.  You may have two (2) excused absences, preferably with advanced notice, with an opportunity for a make-up the following year. 

Are there any group or class assignments?
At the opening retreat the class will be divided into teams and each team will also be responsible for organizing a community service project or participate in a volunteer service day organized by the team in collaboration with a Morris County nonprofit organization. Each team will present an overview of their service day project at the graduation ceremony.
