Applications For Class 41 Due June 6

The application for Class 41 is now live on the Chamber's website and is due June 6. Applicants will be notified of their status in late July, and the program begins in August.

For four decades, Leadership Richardson has been growing leaders who can cross divides, build bridges and solve complex issues. Participants learn how to manage change, assess risks and influence others. The program’s more than 1400 graduates hold leadership positions in their communities and workplaces — running non-profit organizations, sitting on boards, launching successful startups, serving as public officials and much more. In addition to honing leadership skills and learning about the community, Leadership Richardson fosters friendships that last a lifetime.

“I was looking for my tribe, and I found it in Leadership Richardson.”

Class 40 Ann Banks, The Richardson Adult Literacy Center

“This has been the most amazing experience of my life.”

Class 40 Mindy Wingfield, State Farm Insurance
