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

LT made Tallahassee home for me and I am confident I will never be able to give back what I have taken from it...but I'll try.
I love LT!  The experience has been invaluable.  The connections I have made probably would not have happened outside of the LT experience.
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.
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.
We opened an new office in Tallahassee in 1990 and being part of Leadership Tallahassee helped me network, get business and launch our new office.
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'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.
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.

April 2024 Guest Editor, Lisa Bretz (LT 36)

Ah, it is Springtime in Tallahassee! I have been fortunate to call Tallahassee home for over 33 years where my roots are firmly planted. I tell people I came here to complete my degree at Florida State University, but I stayed for love. I am forever grateful for being drawn to a beautiful town where […]
