As a member of Leadership Houston's Class XXIII, I was introduced to nearly 50 other classmates from all walks of life throughout the Houston community. Together, we learned about a variety of issues facing our city and heard from leaders in the public and private sectors about what can be done about them. We also gained valuable experience about leadership in general.
Applications are now available for Class XXVI. To learn more about Leadership Houston, check out their website at LeadershipHouston.org. To cut to the chase and see an application form, click here.
Just to be nice, let me save you a click and go ahead and tell you a little more about Leadership Houston (taken from their website):
What is Leadership Houston?
Leadership Houston serves all business sectors of the community – private, public and nonprofit, as the 'portal' for leadership in the city. It is the 'go to' place to build leadership skills and understanding of the civic affairs. Our goal is for Houston to be known locally, nationally and globally for leadership – resourceful, informed and talented leaders making major contributions to their organizations and the betterment of Houston.
Our Flagship Program accepts applications from proven leaders who currently have some community involvement. Fifty individuals are chosen from the pool of applicants to experience the 10 month program, which includes an opening retreat, 8 class days and a closing retreat. Class days are full 8 hour days, once a month covering subjects such as, local government, Houston economy, social justice, education, quality of place, arts, healthcare and human services. Class members create and launch a project that will better the community.
The friendships formed in Leadership Houston classes provide long lasting relationships across all sectors and demographic groups. These relationships promote understanding and collaboration that continue long after class days end.
