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

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.
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.
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.
I have given many testimonials about LT over the years, but simply put being apart of this tremendous group has improved my life through friendships, leadership opportunities, and meaningful community engagement.
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 year in LT was the best year of my adult life from a professional standpoint.  I honed leadership skills that have stood me well ever since.  I made friends with the most interesting people who probably would not even have been on my radar screen if not for LT. And I learned so much about my community!
I feel very close to my former classmates, even those I don't see regularly.
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 is one of the most outstanding experiences I have had.  One thinks they know Tallahassee and then they go through LT.  The experience makes you realize just how rich our community is with culture, sports, government and natural beauty.  The experience is priceless and just keeps giving!  And of course having Barbara Boone as our leader is just plain awesome!

OCTOBER 2023 GUEST EDITOR, TONY FUSCO (LT 37)

Upon our graduation, it was an amazing surprise to see that the community I experienced did not end with my class, it just grew to the Leadership Tallahassee network as a whole. Through programs like “Best Lunch Ever” or my time serving on the LT Board of Directors, I’ve been able to keep actively engaged […]
