Leadership Augusta is a professional development program started more than 30 years ago with the goal of identifying and educating current and potential community leaders in the CSRA. "Our leadership team is prioritizing the safety and wellness of our participants and volunteers while striving to maintain the programming standards of Leadership Augusta.” Alexia Davis, 2021 Class Chair, emphasizes “We will remain vigilant and flexible as we all navigate the challenges of the current environment. We are looking forward to another great year with the Class of 2021!"
Since its inception, over 1,200 individuals have completed the Leadership Augusta program, acquiring the skills, knowledge, and passion necessary to participate fully in the life of this community. The program brings together individuals ranging from corporate executives, and entrepreneurs to educators, non-profit managers, and public servants. These individuals create lasting networks that are essential to creating a vital, positive community for current and future generations. Leadership Augusta continues to be a vital part of the overall effort to ensure that the pool of talent from which the community can draw its future leaders continues to be renewed.
Leadership Augusta was established in 1980, as an affiliate of the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce, to enhance the civic participation of emerging leaders within the region. For more information about the Leadership Augusta program, visit LeadershipAugustaGA.com or AugustaMetroChamber.com.
