Testimonials

“There’s an apt description about the three stages of life: First we learn, then we earn, and then we return. Find the person that does all three at the same time and you have an exceptional person…that’s the kind of person who goes through the Hamilton County Leadership Academy.”

No matter how long you have lived in Hamilton County, the Hamilton County Leadership Academy will be an eye opening experience, not only to everything that goes on in our community and all that is available to you, but also to the way that many things work in local business, government, education and the judicial system.

Since graduating from the Hamilton County Leadership Academy in 2008, I have found HCLA to be a wonderful resource for networking opportunities.  The graduates of HCLA are talented professionals who have a passion for their careers and community service.  HCLA is a good place to find qualified and committed individuals to serve on a Board of Directors, especially for non-profit businesses like Meals on Wheels of Hamilton County.

"The task of leadership is not to put greatness into people, but to elicit it, for the greatness is there already." - John Buchan

 

To me, this quote defines what HCLA is all about.  HCLA gives you the opportunity to find where your passion lies and introduces you to others that have the same drive to make a difference.  Back then, I never imagined that over 10 years later, I would still have contact with over half of my class through not only our business partnerships, but the philanthropic roles we serve in our communities.”

“

This program has the unique ability to preserve past leadership, embrace present leadership, and welcome future leadership to Hamilton County.  Alumni of the HCLA are better prepared to lead Hamilton County into the future while still respecting our past….and do so with a whole network of new friends.
