Program Overview
The Chamber ALX is excited to bring Leadership Alexandria, a dynamic nine month civic-based leadership development program to new and established leaders in Alexandria.

This program features three components that provides participants with an extraordinary experience:

Alexandria Up Close and Personal
Participants will have the opportunity to hear from and speak candidly with the elected officials, public and private sector heads, change makers and innovators who make Alexandria run.

Topics explored include:
· Local and state government
· Economic development
· Arts, culture, history
· Nonprofits
· Public safety and justice
· Education
· Environmental sustainability

Leadership Development Training
Leadership Alexandria utilizes the Work of Leaders framework to give cohesion and continuity to the developmental component of the Leadership Alexandria experience. The culmination of six years of research and development, The Work of Leaders presents a unified model of leadership—Vision, Alignment, and Execution—that neatly captures the complexity of contemporary leadership.

Connections to last a lifetime
Due to the small (by design) class size, participants build strong and lasting bonds with their classmates.

The class will meet once a month on Friday for a full day of programming.

The Class of 2024-2025 program dates are as follows:
Friday, September 20th
Friday, October 11th
