For the last 50 years, Leadership Raleigh has been the premier program for preparing the leaders of tomorrow. The nine-month program has consistently provided participants with an in-depth view of community issues, developed leadership skills for leadership roles, and created community involvement opportunities. This year is no different. We have kicked off our year for both classes with our opening retreat and orientation sessions. Participants had the opportunity to engage, network, and learn more about Leadership Raleigh as well as their fellow-classmates.
 
We are pleased to announce our Leadership Raleigh 41 and Leadership Raleigh 42 classes.
 
To access the Leadership Raleigh program details and calendar, please click here.
 
The Leadership Raleigh Alumni Association offers all graduates the opportunity to be active participants in Leadership Raleigh long after they have completed the program.
 
Participation on a committee or as a board member is welcomed and encouraged. Please consider joining a committee or volunteering on the board by contacting Shana Overdorf.
 
Please meet our 2020-2021 Leadership Raleigh Alumni Board President, Shana Overdorf.

Leadership Raleigh 41 Class Chair: Sean Maroney
Vice President of Resource Development, Habitat for Humanity of Wake County
Picture
"I'm beyond honored and truly grateful to partner with the Chamber's talented and dedicated staff in support of Leadership Raleigh 41. My own experience with LR 39 is one of my most impactful, both personally and professionally. It's my hope to help deliver to LR 41 what my class experienced despite the pandemic striking in the middle of our year: to learn more about what important work is going on to make Raleigh a better community and how important that work is to continue when times are tough."
 
Your number one fan,
Sean

 
 
Leadership Raleigh 42 Class Chair: Emily Jeske
Attorney at Law, Bosquez Porter Family Law

“I am so excited to be the chair for Leadership Raleigh 42. My experience as a participant in LR 40 was incredible, and I can’t wait to help guide this new cohort through their time in the program. I think this group will be special – it’s certainly telling that they applied for Leadership Raleigh in the midst of a pandemic, and I can only imagine the success that they will bring to their organizations and the Greater Raleigh area through both class days and service projects. I look forward to being a resource over the next several months as we navigate these challenges together, and I’m thrilled to help guide these folks as they embark on this adventure in personal growth and commitment to our community”

Emily
