Meet Our 2024-2025 Class
I had the incredible opportunity to join Leadership Lee County in 2019, and I can honestly say it was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. This program provided me with an in-depth look at every facet of our community—from local government and education to healthcare and business—and gave me a new appreciation for the people and organizations that make it all work.
The experience was not only educational, but it was also deeply inspirational and engaging. I met and formed lifelong connections with some of the most dynamic leaders in our community, and the bonds we created will last for years to come.
If you're looking to expand your understanding of your community, grow your professional network, and be inspired by some of the best leaders you’ll ever meet, I highly recommend Leadership Lee County. It’s an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything!
