State Representative Andy Thompson (R-Marietta) yesterday welcomed Jo Sexton, president of the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce, and participants of the Guernsey County Leadership Program to the Ohio House of Representatives during a legislative session.

The Guernsey County Leadership Program is offered through the Cambridge Area Chamber and develops leadership skills in youths and adults. Leadership Guernsey was started in 1994.

“The leadership program offered through the Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce is vital to the cultivation of good leaders in Guernsey County,” Representative Thompson said. “Thus far, the program has been a success. I look forward to the continuing efforts of this program in molding future leaders for the area.”
