Overview
The core of Leadership Atlanta's programming is our signature nine-month, executive-level series. We choose 75 established leaders each year to represent a broad cross-section of metro Atlanta. Through retreats, full-day seminars, service projects, discussion groups and community tours, members explore critical community issues, examine themselves as leaders and build relationships of trust and mutual understanding.
Class of 2012
Chair: Jay Bernath '08
The 2012 Leadership Atlanta program is an opportunity for class members to deepen their knowledge of critical community issues, challenge themselves and their own assumptions, refine their leadership skills, and learn from one another. Atlanta is at a critical time in its history, and – more than ever – needs leaders from across the region to step up and become involved. By the end of the program year, class members will have a more insightful perspective of the significant issues facing our community and how they may affect those concerns through their leadership and service.
Program days will focus on Leadership Atlanta’s own version of STP - what is Sustainable, what is Topical, what is Positive. Just as STP helps vehicles run better, last longer and be more efficient, our STP will enhance the performance of our city, maintain its status as the premier city in the South, and help city leaders prepare for the future.
Throughout this Leadership Atlanta Program Year and beyond, we ask you to “BE BOLD.”
