The Leadership Lexington Steering Committee is proud to announce the new class of Leadership Lexington for 2021-22, which includes individuals with varied backgrounds from a variety of segments of the Lexington community.  The program provides people the opportunity to better understand our city and to prepare for the challenges it faces by meeting with and learning from today’s leaders.  Leadership Lexington is an educational opportunity that broadens perspectives and allows participants to gain increased understanding of community dynamics and public issues. 

The 2021-22 program presented by McBrayer PLLC will kick off with an orientation session at Boone Tavern on August 12-13. Then, beginning in September and through June, the class will meet in different locations around the area each month with a major program topic covered by knowledgeable speakers and panels, tours, group activities, demonstrations, and class discussions. Sessions will cover topics, such as media, government, education, public safety, economic development, arts, equine, diversity, health and human services, and leadership development.
