Leadership Pearland is a program which identifies and develops talented and committed citizens who aspire to provide leadership in Pearland’s business and community activities.
The program develops leaders by providing quality, relevant, leadership skills training to match the dynamic needs of the community. The Program teaches participants about Pearland’s governmental, educational, economic, and cultural organizations and encourages future leaders to explore options for personal involvement and relationship building.
The Chamber reports Leadership Pearland creates opportunities for participants to form effective connections with current, past, and future leaders in the community.
Leadership Pearland requires a serious time commitment from participants. It is a series of 11 sessions covering such areas as personal skills, government, economic development, social needs, and other key segments of our community. Additionally, there are mandatory events including the Community Leader’s Reception, a Two-Day Retreat, and an overnight stay in Austin.
The program includes a leadership training segment within each session, led by local professionals, and ends with a celebratory graduation. Leadership Pearland will facilitate appointments of graduates into leadership roles within the Pearland Chamber of Commerce and other community organizations upon program completion.
