As a prospective Leadership Southlake participant, you are embarking on a journey that will last a lifetime. This journey is a result of your commitment to excellence and leadership in your community, both personally and professionally. Although this passage is one that many have taken since the program began in 1989, the end result is unique to each graduate.

Leadership Southlake is a dynamic, fun way to learn about Southlake. Alumni include a variety of community and civic leaders. For 35 years, Leadership Southlake has introduced emerging and recognized leaders to the inner workings of our community through a ten-month program on topics that affect our quality of life. This course is also great for professional development, leadership training, and networking.

The 2024-2025 Leadership Southlake voyage begins with an opening orientation in August. It is followed by an invaluable full-day retreat in September. Through monthly sessions, you will learn:

• An appreciation of the City’s history
• Southlake’s strategic plan for economic development and transportation
• The breadth of community services offered to the citizens of Southlake
• The multitude of educational and cultural opportunities available
• The operation of local government breakthroughs and trends in health and medical services

The class will plan and implement a community service project that will serve as its legacy. The course concludes with a graduation ceremony where students showcase their advocacy project and are publicly recognized.

Enclosed is an application for you to complete and return by Friday, July 5, 2024, in order to be considered for inclusion in the class of 2024-2025. The class size is limited to 20 participants. Those applicants who are accepted into the program will be notified no later than Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
