Leadership Greater Little Rock
PROGRAM DETAILS
Leadership Greater Little Rock (LGLR) is a nine-month community leadership program committed to enhancing and connecting leaders from businesses, nonprofits and government. This unique program has empowered participants with a comprehensive understanding of our region’s challenges and opportunities. Each month (October – June), the class meets at a different central Arkansas location to explore topics through expert speakers, panelists, tours and group presentations. With very strict attendance guidelines, class members are allowed to miss no more than 16 hours (each session is considered 8 hours). Additionally, the 2-day retreat, held in October, is mandatory for participation in the class.

Identify and motivate individuals with leadership potential
Acquaint them with community needs, challenges and opportunities
Offer a forum of exchange on methods for dealing with community issues
Challenge potential leaders to become involved with local issues and the decision-making process.
