What is Leadership Johnson County?
LEADERSHIP JOHNSON COUNTY is an issues oriented leadership development program that has been designed to inform, moti-
vate, and challenge selected participants through education and interaction with community, county, state leaders and decision makers.
LEADERSHIP JOHNSON COUNTY is a program of the Clarksville-Johnson County Chamber of Commerce.
HOW WILL LEADERSHIP JOHNSON COUNTY HELP OUR COMMUNITY? The programs brings together potential com-
munity leaders to learn more about Johnson County, share learning experiences, exchange ideas and thus become eager to volunteer
their time and talents in the spirit of community service. The programs also encourages the building and maintaining of networks of
community leaders who know and trust each other and will offer participants from diverse backgrounds expanded knowledge and
awareness of the issues facing Johnson County.
HOW WILL LEADERSHIP JOHNSON COUNTY HELP ME? The program provides opportunities for participants to meet peers
from diverse fields and form friendships that benefit the community as well as their own professional and civic careers. LEADER-
SHIP JOHNSON COUNTY provides a forum for its participants to continue community education and networking.
HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN LEADERSHIP JOHNSON COUNTY? Class participants will
meet one full day per month for 10 months. Included will be a two-day governmental study session in Little Rock. Other days will
focus on health care, community services, education, local government, community development and industry tours. In addition to the
monthly meetings, graduation requirements include attendance at each of the following meetings: city council, quorum court, and
school board. The class will also be assigned to work on special projects with the Chamber throughout the year and complete a class

CodeRED Weather Warning
Notice from Josh Johnston, CFM, AMCEM
I just wanted to take a minute to let you know about our new website and invite all of you who live in Johnson County to
sign up your cell phones and verify your address information for Code Red emergency notification system.
Code Red is an emergency notification system that has many uses including mass notification in the event of a natural or
manmade disaster, missing person, or evacuation. You are already enrolled in this service. There is another exciting
aspect to Code Red and that is the Weather Alert. You must sign up for this service at no cost to you the people of
Johnson County. This service will automatically activate for the covered area only. If there is a warning for northeast
Johnson County and you live in the southwest you will not be bothered. However if you are in the area it will contact you
automatically without delays by us locally to have to activate they system. This system is activated by the National
Weather Service automatically!!! Many of you may now know the weather service issues box warnings now and do not
issue warnings by County. This is key to only notifying people in the affected area leading to less loss of work and less
worry about systems that are not expected to affect you. We are pleased that this system follows this box warning sys-
tem. The warnings that are issued are:
Flash Flood, the number 1 killer in the United States
Severe Thunderstorm
Tornado
We are excited about both the website, www.jcdem.org, and Code Red and hope you all will take time to check them
both out. If you have any questions or comments please call our office, 754-6383. We continue to be a Storm Ready
Community and do our best to make Johnson County a Safer Place to Live and Work!
Thanks
