Leadership for a Lifetime

 

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

Tempe Leadership alumni are well represented on local boards and commissions, routinely serve elected office, and volunteer time and energy to the community – together creating lasting legacies.
