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 is a valuable program that quickly builds authentic connections among a group of strangers, with opportunities for meaningful community relationships. I particularly enjoyed the direct access to local community, business, and government leaders who may share candid insights into current matters in the community. If you’re willing, you can engage on challenging issues, producing enriching conversations with different viewpoints. Overall, the program helped me build a greater appreciation for how city and community decisions are made, including the cooperation, compromise, and competing voices involved.”
