Leadership Las Vegas

2008-2009 Leadership Application Deadline was Friday, June 6, 2008

Leadership Las Vegas is an intensive, 10-month program devoted to strengthening and educating our community leaders. Leadership Las Vegas provides in-depth insights into a variety of issues impacting residents of Southern Nevada.

Leadership Las Vegas was established in 1986 as a division of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. More than 800 community leaders have graduated from Leadership Las Vegas, and continue their commitment to the growth, development and prosperity of one of the fastest growing cities in the country - Las Vegas!

Leadership Las Vegas is an exclusive program accepting only 44 participants representing a diverse cross-section of the community to participate annually.

The program covers topics including an in depth review of the history of Las Vegas, gaming and tourism news, government and politics insights, media and entertainment scene, business outlooks, technology growth, local education infrastructure, growth forecast and real estate, construction trends, health care issues and much more!

This intensive year long program requires attendance to a series of session days and a unique class 'retreat', where the incoming participants bond and begin to develop life long relationships.

The culmination of the program is its Gala Leadership Graduation ceremony held in June.

The investment in Leadership Las Vegas is only:
$2,750 for designated members of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce
$3,500 for non-members

The tuition is non-refundable if the selected applicant is terminated from the program for absence or other reasons.

Once selected to participate in the Leadership Las Vegas program, if the non-member participant decides to join the Chamber within six months of completing the program, a $250 credit will be applied toward the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce membership dues.

Scholarships for up to one-half of tuition are available.
