Leadership Atlanta seeking your nominations for its Class of 2018.  Each year Leadership Atlanta selects approximately 80 regional executive leaders to participate in its highly competitive community leadership program.  The deadline for nominations is November 30, 2016.

“We are currently looking for leaders from diverse industries including education, law, corporate, religious, nonprofit, technology, media, healthcare, politics, and government,” says President and CEO, Pat Upshaw-Monteith.  “These leaders all share very important characteristics – they are at the top of their professions, they have a demonstrated record of producing results at work as well as in their communities, and they are passionate about leading the Atlanta region forward.”

During the nine-month program the Class will learn more about the region by participating in retreats, full-day seminars, service projects, discussion groups and community tours, and other impactful experiential activities. In addition to exploring important regional issues, class members will critically examine themselves as leaders, challenge themselves to find ways to be more effective in their leadership roles and build relationships of trust and mutual understanding with each other.

Nominations for the upcoming Leadership Atlanta Class of 2018 will be accepted through November 30, 2016.  Nominees will be contacted by the Leadership Atlanta office in early December 2016, and applications will be accepted through January 13, 2017.  To nominate a friend, colleague, or yourself for Leadership Atlanta, please visit www.leadershipatlanta.org/leadershipatlanta/nominate, or call the Leadership Atlanta office at (404) 876-4770.
