Do You Want to Become More Active in the Community?

Then Leadership Gillespie County may be for you!

Since the graduation of its first class in 1994, the program has developed into one of the most sought after learning experiences in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County. And as any alumni will tell you, the networking and the friendships last far longer than the nine-month curriculum.

Leadership Gillespie County was established by the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce and Gillespie County Economic Development Commission knowing that in our fast-paced world there is a constant need for developing and nurturing leaders for our community.

Our alumni base is now over 200 individuals with many actively involved in an array of community activities or organizations. If your intent is to know more about your community and find ways to help you give back to your community, than Leadership Gillespie County is for you.

The program outline consists of a mandatory two-day Leadership Retreat in September followed by a monthly one-day session through the following April on a particular area of focus. The monthly sessions are normally held on a Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., which allows you the flexibility to check in with your workplace before and after the session.

Applications are accepted in June and July.

The tuition is $350 ($300 for Chamber members), which covers the entire program including your graduation dinner. While we consider this a very worthwhile investment for you, we do have a limited amount of partial scholarships available should you need assistance.

If you have any other questions or would like an application, you can contact the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce or at 997-6523 or via e-mail at president@fbgtx.org. Better yet, contact any of our alumni and let them tell you about their Leadership experience.

Sincerely,

Mike Weberpal
Program Coordinator
