From police ride-alongs and touring Central Prison to learning about the impact of education and the media, Leadership Raleigh participants get in-depth, behind-the-scenes insight into all aspects of our community.
On Tuesday, June 28, 96 class members will graduate as part of the program's 31st and 32nd classes.
"These classes are made up of dedicated and visionary leaders who all shared a desire to make our community a better place,” said Chamber Board of Directors Chair Jill Wells Heath. “I’m excited to see how their contributions will continue to benefit our community and how their leadership will impact our region in the years to come.”
We expect big things from both groups, and we're excited to see what they have in store for the greater Raleigh area in the future!

Learn More about Leadership Raleigh
Leadership Raleigh is a nine-month program consisting of eight one-day sessions held in the greater Raleigh area with an opening weekend retreat. The program emphasizes three overall components: team projects, community orientation, and enhancing leadership skills/styles.
Due to overwhelming interest in the program from business leaders across the community, the Chamber launched two classes of the program in 2015. This format will remain going forward.
While recruiting has ended for the 2016/17 classes, we encourage anyone who is interested to visit www.leadershipraleigh.org or email leadershipraleigh@raleighchamber.org for additional information!
