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

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.
My experience with Leadership Tallahassee allowed me to open the door of risk taking and overcoming challenges more directly.  I appreciated the support I received from classmates and was inspired by those who shared their stories with me.
I think Leadership Tallahassee is invaluable to those who are building personal and professional lives primarily within the confines of metro Tallahassee.
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.
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.
It was been a very beneficial program which I have promoted and recommended over many years to friends and colleagues. I have also sponsored a number of graduates who reported to me and continue to do so in my new management role in the non profit world.
It literally changed my life. I met lifelong friends and it gave me credibility I wouldn't have otherwise had at this point in my career.
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
Exceptional program! It helped broaden my understanding of how the community is interconnected. Thank you LT!
I am honored to have been a part of Leadership Tallahassee Class 31. The connections I have made, the sense of community I feel and the pride in being a part of something greater than myself will always be with me.

Leadership Tallahassee Current Class Featured Profile

November 2023 Guest Editor, Jan Brown (LT 9)

I moved to Tallahassee in 1986. I met a lot of people in my jobs. As you probably did, I thought I would know several members of my Leadership Tallahassee class. Class IX had 30 participants, none of whom I had ever met! I rode to the retreat location of Destin with Jack Diestelhorst, pulling […]
