COVID-19 Note:
Due to COVID-19, we will NOT have a Leadership Class in 2020-2021. Our next Class will begin in August 2021. We will, however, be scheduling networking events specifically for this class throughout 2020-2021 and will include the Class of 2022 into the Leadership Fort Bend Alumni events and programs as well. We know the importance of this program and how we connect our Class members to the community and other Chamber members. We want you to get the most out of your Leadership experience, so JOIN NOW and get networking. We are accepting applications with a $500 deposit only, the remainder will be due in 2021. |
The Leadership Fort Bend program was organized in 1986 under the direction of the Central Fort Bend Chamber and has a long history of developing leaders for Fort Bend County.
Program participants will grow in awareness and consideration of the challenges and issues facing our community, Fort Bend County and the State of Texas by providing an understanding of how our community functions and foster healthy dialogue and exchange among participants and county leaders. The program offers skills training, education and new approaches to the study of regional issues. In turn, our participants come out of the program with the desire and background needed to become leaders in Fort Bend County.
Participants will also develop valuable contacts and communication networks within the community. Most importantly, Leadership Fort Bend builds confidence and motivation to become actively involved in promoting positive change for Fort Bend County.
Leadership Fort Bend is a nine-month program - October through May with a 2-day Opening Retreat in August as well as a Welcome and Alumni Reception each year.
