The program also provides an informal platform for self-discovery as leaders learn more about themselves and each other as leaders.
Connect
LMT classmates form life-long friendships and connections that help them and their companies to more effectively navigate the local and regional landscape. Alumni continue stay in touch through social and educational events and special projects, sustaining regional understanding and cooperation.
Contribute
Each LMT class and nearly 600 people in our alumni network make up a powerful cadre of community and business leaders who can help mobilize any community service effort, whether it is the current year’s class service project or a rollout of multi-county efforts like the Buddy Bench.
