Leadership El Paso is the city's premiere leadership enhancement program.
A program of the Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce, Leadership El Paso is a yearlong immersion into our community’s greatest strengths and weaknesses; its historic past and promising future. It’s a magnified look at current events in an arena where key decision-makers and class participants share frank discussions and creative ideas, forging new partnerships and influential networks. Now entering its 28th year, Leadership El Paso is looking for the best the city has to offer. While more than 100 people are expected to apply this year, only 40 will be selected to participate in the class of 2006.

The deadline to submit applications is Sept. 29, 2006. The class will be announced by Nov. 9, 2006.
SELECTION:
The selection of 40 class members is based on proven commitment to community service. Preference is given those already in leadership, or who are likely to be tapped for greater community responsibility. Participants will be representative of our broadly diverse community.
TUITION:
The tuition of $1,300.00 covers all program costs. In many cases, employers sponsor the participation of an employee, but a limited number of partial scholarships are available. Please do not allow the cost of the program to become the deciding factor in whether you submit an application.

COMMITMENT:

Leadership El Paso is an intensive learning experience requiring commitment (calendar attached) including: 

  • Attendance at a minimum of eight all-day, (7:30 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) monthly sessions and the two-day overnight retreat on Jan. 12-13, 2007.

  • Participation in at least three field trips and the class project.
FOCUS:
During the year, our curriculum focuses on key issues facing our city. Experts on topics such as economic development, the military, healthcare, social services and quality of life moderate sessions, while key decision-makers provide briefings. That allows class members priceless opportunities to pose in-depth questions and engage in frank discussions on hot topics and current events.
TO APPLY:
Complete and return an application or contact Yvonne Ramirez at 534-0526 or yramirez@elpaso.org for more information. If you cannot meet the required commitments at this time, please pass this application on to someone who may benefit from this unique experience.
We look forward to hearing from you and receiving your application.
