Class Updates

Our Leadership Mobile Class of 2026 has been busy this year, delving into topics surrounding Education, Government, and Health & Human Services.

The class learned from multiple past Leadership Mobile graduates who volunteered to share wisdom about the challenges, rewards, growth and roadblocks to what they do, leaving an opportunity for our current class to fill a need in our community through their project selection in May.

If your organization has a potential project on the horizon, stay tuned as our annual RFP will go live next month so that we can successfully pair our class with Mobile's needs in real time.

Health & Human Services Seminar

Our Day Chair, Chandra Brown, Executive Director of Lifelines Counseling, constructed a day full of invaluable insights into the massive amount of work it takes to successfully address our health & human services needs throughout Mobile County. In addition, she highlighted some of the incredible people behind that work including USA Health's CEO Natalie Fox and Chief Policy Officer Danny Rickert, Justine Bixler, President/CEO of The United Way, Denise Riemer, Lead Social Worker with the MCPSS, Dr. Ashley Williams & Dean Josh Jones from the USA Center for Healthy Communities and our own Tempey Hamilton. Sending a heartfelt thank you to all those who contributed to our day.

Government Seminar

In March, the class studied government with multiple opportunities for first-person perspective into service! This year's Dean Josh Jones chose Leadership Mobile Class of 2019 alumni Matt Anderson, Director of the City of Mobile's Public Works Department, to craft a whole day of great one-on-one conversations, mixed with multiple interactive exercises that really put our class into the driver's seat.

Many thanks go out to Matt, District 6 City Councilman Josh Woods, Jacob Laurence, the Community Engagement team- made up of Leadership alumnae Lesley Walker & Portia Foster-the Mobile Police Department and the Mobile County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Andrew Peak, for talking and walking us through a day in the life of a public servant. It was invaluable!
