Leadership Tallahassee Graduates Speak

Leadership Tallahassee has been the most rewarding experience of my professional career.  The relationships built both on a professional and personal level will continue to strengthen and grow as the years pass.  I am proud and humbled to be part of such an amazing organization.
Leadership Tallahassee is not just for younger residents or new residents. It is an opportunity to see your city in a new way; to hear perspectives you've not heard before; and to establish life-long relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. It allows you to become more fully a part of your city and to understand the value of giving back and being involved.
I have enjoyed years of positive interactions, experiences, and events with LT. I recommend participating in this incredible program every chance I get as it defines community involvement.  As I'm about to retire, however, I find it more and more likely that my participation will dwindle.  I'll probably become more involved with the Sr. programs, another great effort of LT !
LT truly was a game-changer for me as young professional and as a leader. The learning experience was so impactful that it really still feels like just yesterday that I was at the opening retreat. Thank you for letting me be in the number!
One of best experiences I enjoyed during my working career!
Applying and being accepted into LT was so exciting and the experience extremely rewarding.  I learned a lot about myself and felt challenged throughout the year.  I think the scrutiny that goes into the application process is quite fair; it should not be about personality, but a person's ability to lead and influence their community in a positive and inspirational way.
LT is a GREAT program. It permits participants to work on improving our community in theoretical and real ways that no other program allows. I participated in LT VII and learned just how small Tallahassee really is: it's two degrees of separation. All of this is a good thing because I learned we're far more connected than we realized. Like most things, you get out of it what you put into it. I encourage you to jump in with both feet. It'll be the best thing you do for your career and your self
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 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.
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.

Leadership Tallahassee Current Class Featured Profile

March 2024 Guest Editor, Ashley Chaney (LT 40)

Like many, I moved to Tallahassee as a post-secondary student. Being a native of Canada, maybe it was the warm weather, the unique trees and landscape or the people, but every time I traveled away something kept pulling me back to our beloved city. It didn’t take long to fall in love with Tallahassee. Before […]
