The Pensacola Chamber Foundation announced today the Leadership Pensacola (LeaP) Class of 2020. Participants were carefully selected for their professional achievements, commitment to the Northwest Florida community, leadership skills and potential.
Founded in the fall of 1982, LeaP is a 10-month-long program designed to identify, foster and inspire current and emerging leaders to gain an understanding of the issues facing the Greater Pensacola area and develop the leadership skills necessary to address them. To date, more than 1,500 individuals have completed the Leadership Pensacola program. “I’m excited to welcome another strong group of individuals into this year’s Leadership Pensacola class,” stated Greater Pensacola Chamber President & CEO Todd Thomson. “I know this class will take advantage of what the LeaP program has to offer them as they develop into our community leaders of the future.”
Each year the LeaP Selection Committee seeks a cross-section of the community made up of individuals from different career, educational, political, social and cultural backgrounds. Participants accepted into LeaP are involved in a combination of retreats, day-long seminars and at least one community project for which the class uses its resources and talents to enhance the Greater Pensacola region.
