Leadership for a Lifetime

 

Identifying emerging leaders and fostering leadership skills through education, experience, exposure, and service to our community.

Since 1985, the Tempe Leadership Program, in partnership with the Tempe Chamber of Commerce Foundation, has brought like-minded individuals together in the community to engage and challenge one another, learn more about the ins and outs of Tempe, and, most importantly, make a real difference in our community.
