All About Gillette Area Leadership Institute (G.A.L.I.)

The Gillette Area Leadership Institute is a nine-month leadership course offered by the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce. The purpose is to provide Gillette and Campbell County with informed, dedicated individuals that are prepared to assume leadership roles within the community, enhancing the quality of life for all residents.

G.A.L.I. sessions begin in September and are held the third Wednesday of every month. The application process occurs in June and July to set the class. Please look on www.gillettechamber.com for more information.

The class begins with a retreat in September. The retreat is designed for the class to get to know one another and hear from community leaders. Monthly sessions include Agriculture and Energy, Social Responsibility, Local Government, Healthcare, Ethics and the Judicial System, Education and Media and Quality of Life. In February each year, the class travels to Cheyenne for the Legislative Session. While there, they meet the Governor in a private setting, observe the House and Senate in action and spend a day in Guernsey at the military base.

Outside of the sessions, participants are required to attend board meetings and perform volunteer work. Each class also takes on a class project that benefits the community. G.A.L.I. requires an extensive time commitment. The reward is a more complete understanding of the community.

Campbell County Convention & Visitor Bureau

For numerous years, the Board of Directors and staff of both the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce and the Campbell County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CCCVB) had discussed the possibility of co-locating. Other properties had been discussed in the past, but for one reason or another those properties were not feasible. With the current decreased revenues of our community due to COVID, co-locating in the existing Chamber building downtown made perfect sense. In June the CCCVB moved in with the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce allowing for stronger communication, increased coordination of efforts, and cost savings for both organizations. Located in the historic heart of Downtown Gillette, visitors and locals can pick up a Visitor Guide; browse our extensive map collection; and get information about community events, attractions and amenities that enhance quality of life year-round! Our friendly and knowledgeable staff of the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce and Campbell County Convention & Visitors Bureau are here to assist you in creating your own experience in our charming community!
