Leadership Development Programs

 Community Leadership Program for Pasadena

LP is a powerful community leadership development program for persons who wish to take an active role leading Pasadena's future.

Over 8 months, Leadership Pasadena participants do a "deep dive" into all aspects of Pasadena life--learning about local government, business, arts, science, history, regional economics and more. They discuss and debate issues with the Pasadena's top leaders. They also enhance their leadership skills through state of the art leadership training and completion of a community service project for Pasadena.

Leadership Pasadena and its alumni network will provide you with important personal and professional resources.  We hope you will consider joining us!​
