Founded in 1975 by the Dallas Regional Chamber, Leadership Dallas is a leadership development program aimed at providing our city with an ongoing source of diverse leaders who are prepared and committed to serve as catalysts and sustainers of positive change for the quality of life in the Greater Dallas area.

Each year, up to 55 individuals are selected to participate in a ten-month educational program that consists of a two-day retreat, nine monthly day-long sessions, monthly preliminary assignments, and a class project. Participants receive in-depth exposure to the critical issues facing the community through lectures, discussion groups, on-site visits, simulations, and other leadership development activities.

Issues to be addressed during the year include human services, government & politics, economic development, health care, criminal justice, education, and arts & culture. The location and format of each session is different. The program enables participants to develop their leadership capacities, build strong relationships and prepare themselves for the challenges of the years to come.

Program participants will grow in awareness and understanding of the challenges and issues facing our community. They will also develop valuable contacts and communication networks within the community. Most importantly, Leadership Dallas builds confidence and motivation to become actively involved in promoting positive change for the Greater Dallas area.

Employers and sponsoring organizations will see increased leadership and problem solving skills in their employee. Leadership Dallas allows doors to be opened for greater corporate/organizational community involvement and visibility, and helps identify where strategic alliances might be forged. It will create additional opportunities to influence positive change and impact quality of life in the community.

The community will experience immediate benefit from increased involvement on the part of the participants, and will reap future benefits from the collective commitment to effective leadership by the graduates of Leadership Dallas.

Leadership Dallas applications are currently available. If you are interested in applying, please contact leadership@dallaschamber.org or attend an informational session on April 22nd or 28th. For more information or to register for an informational session, CLICK HERE.
