Leadership Jacksonville has selected 57 community leaders to participate in their annual adult flagship program.

Since the first graduating class of 1977, over 2,400 alumni have completed the program and explored the dynamics of society, analyzed major areas of community concern and opportunity, facilitated the development of their personal leadership capacity, and connected with a rich network of dedicated community trustees.

“The Leadership Jacksonville Class of 2024 is made up of an exceptional group of leaders. They are eager to learn, to support one another and to explore innovative ways to make positive changes within their communities. I’m excited to witness their progress over the next year as they challenge themselves and each other to tackle some of our communities’ toughest issues and celebrate our cherished assets,” said Leadership Jacksonville Chief Executive Officer Gracie Simendinger.

Leadership Jacksonville educates, connects, and inspires diverse leaders to build and strengthen their communities. Criteria for selection includes demonstrated leadership skills, active community involvement, and a willingness to invest time and energy required by the yearlong program.
