Class Program
Applications for Class XXX will be available in February of 2011
Leadership Florida’s mission is to continually discover and convene committed individuals, enhancing and recharging their leadership skills by introducing them to a powerful community through whom they find knowledge and inspiration. We engage Floridians by providing essential information and a meaningful forum for their opinions, and creating opportunities for shared experiences that are inviting, inspiring and of lasting value.
One of the many ways the organization is working to accomplish that mission is through its annual class program. For our twenty-ninth class, 55 leaders will be chosen to participate in a stimulating and thought-provoking, eight-month educational program that consists of a series of 5 (five) two and three-day sessions held in cities throughout the state, the culmination of which is the equivalent of a sixth session where participants will join fellow Leadership Florida members at our Annual Meeting. These sessions include programming on issues critical to Florida, leadership skills assessment and training, and relevant information on Florida's history, demography, diversities, and opportunities. One of the most rewarding and lasting benefits of the program is the valuable time spent interacting with other leaders from a variety of professions, philosophies and parts of the state who represent Florida's diverse ethnic and racial composition.
