The Greater Maryville Chamber of Commerce is accepting applications through Dec. 11 for the 40th class of Leadership Maryville, a monthly community leadership program running from January through July that offers professional networking, civic engagement, and a group project for up to 12 participants.

The Maryville Chamber of Commerce is inviting local non-profits to nominate representatives for its annual "Grinch of Maryville" contest, a holiday fundraiser where community votes raise money for local organizations and the winner serves as grand marshal of the downtown Christmas parade.
