Classes cover a broad range of subjects including County History, Local Government/Economic Development, Public Safety, Issues in Education, Legal Issues, Role of Culture, Transportation, Healthcare and Volunteerism.

Tuition is $665 for employees of Chemung Chamber member firms, or $850 for employees of non-members. The fee covers the cost of tuition, materials, supplies and refreshments and may be paid by the participant, sponsoring business or a combination of the two.
