Leadership Tallahassee
A Program of the Greater Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce

The mission of Leadership Tallahassee is to cultivate a diverse network of emerging & experienced leaders committed to improving the community.

We prepare leaders to meet & anticipate challenges in the community. Through programs for adults & high school students, participants experience information about all sectors of the community, including business, economic development, the arts, government, and more. As a result, they find their own connection in the community by making a difference through leadership service.

Leadership Tallahassee Graduates Speak

We opened an new office in Tallahassee in 1990 and being part of Leadership Tallahassee helped me network, get business and launch our new office.
This organization helped me grow in ways that I did and did not anticipate at the beginning of my involvement.  I knew it was going to be good and it was SO good.  Feel like I have made life-long friends and know my community much more than I did before. LT is a game changer.
I found the program to be incredibly dynamic, and the relationships that I made through LT (both within my LT Class 28, and the organization as a whole) have been very beneficial in both my ongoing personal and professional development.
LT has allowed me to meet and develop relationships with active community members, forming a network that crosses the natural boundaries created by race, age, industry, political stance, etc.
I have been associated with Leadership Tallahassee for the past 11 years.  I am grateful for the opportunity and experience working with Leadership Tallahassee has offered.
Prior to joining Leadership Tallahassee, I did not have a means to know how to support my local community.  I served other local communities, statewide, and nationally, but not Tallahassee except through my church and children.  From my involvement with LT, I have been able to serve Tallahassee and make lasting friendships and business contacts.
I definitely believe you reap what you sow and Leadership Tallahassee is an excellent example. I graduated many years ago and my participation has waxed and waned over the years depending on what was going on in my professional life. The years I am able to actively participate I am reminded of what a great resource LT is; networking with my fellow colleagues, my former classmates, as well as benefitting from speakers regarding pertinent topics of interest are all of benefit to me.
Leadership Tallahassee is a very important part of our community and helped me get a start in my leadership journey in Tallahassee and Florida.  I am forever indebted to LT, the experiences it has provided for me and the friends it has helped me make.  Although I am busy with other volunteer activities now, I hope to have time to re-invest in LT when some of my other obligations run their course.
I've found Leadership Tallahassee to be invaluable in it's creation of a new class every year of civic-minded individuals who are committed to making Tallahassee a better pleace to live, work and play.
Leadership Tallahassee has introduced me to many new friends and colleagues and has been invaluable in helping me professionally.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this wonderful program.

April 2024 Guest Editor, Lisa Bretz (LT 36)

Ah, it is Springtime in Tallahassee! I have been fortunate to call Tallahassee home for over 33 years where my roots are firmly planted. I tell people I came here to complete my degree at Florida State University, but I stayed for love. I am forever grateful for being drawn to a beautiful town where […]
