Leadership Lenexa includes nine full-day sessions, each featuring a different aspect of the community including City, County, and State Government, City Services, Education, Economic Development, Leadership Strengths, and Team Building.

The sessions feature presentations, on-site visits, and small group exercises and are designed to educate and inspire examination of local and regional issues.

In addition to engaging with established and emerging leaders, Leadership Lenexa will expand your personal and professional networks. Several sessions are shared with seven other Johnson County chamber leadership programs.

The program will enhance your knowledge of Lenexa, whether your future holds elected office, a volunteer board position, or simply the desire to better understand the people and processes that make our community successful.

“Leadership Lenexa was an eye opening and rewarding experience. The diverse sessions offered an opportunity to learn how both the private and public sectors of business come together and enhance the community and quality of life for its residents. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my classmates and learn how their roles within their businesses and community impact others. I walked away with a better understanding of why and how the Lenexa community is so successful and with new friendships.” –

“As a resident of Lenexa, Leadership Lenexa allowed me to learn so much more about my community than I ever could have on my own.  I most enjoyed learning about local government and how I can get involved to make a difference in my community.  I  created so many new relationships that I look forward to maintaining for years to come.  The knowledge and networking was invaluable!”
