Paul J. DePrimo of Tobyhanna Army Depot is one of 16 professionals in Leadership Lackawanna's 2026 Executive Program class, the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce announced on Friday, Nov. 6.
DePrimo is also one of seven returning alumni in the class. He graduated from Leadership Lackawanna's 10-month Core Program in 2023, according to a separate announcement from the organization.
Leadership Lackawanna is the nonprofit leadership development division of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce. Its six-week Executive Program connects public and private sector professionals with business and community leaders through weekly sessions at locations across the region.
In a statement published Nov. 6, DePrimo said, “Since graduating from the Core Program in 2023, I’ve gained a greater appreciation for all that Lackawanna County has to offer and built meaningful connections.”
Nicole Morristell, executive director of Leadership Lackawanna, said in a statement that the returning alumni reflect what the organization aims to accomplish. Seven of this year's 16 participants previously completed either the Core Program or the Leadership Fundamentals 2.0 program.
The class draws from organizations across the region, including Geisinger Community Medical Center, Penn State, the Scranton School District and the National Park Service's Steamtown National Historic Site. The full roster is available on the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce's website.
DePrimo said, “I welcome challenges, connections and opportunities for growth, and Leadership Lackawanna has given me exactly that.”
