Leadership Rowlett Kicks Off, Meet the Members

ROWLETT, TX – Sept. 23, 2019) Leadership Rowlett began its 29^th class today as the group of participants met at the Rowlett Chamber of Commerce before heading out for the annual two day retreat at the Bridgeport Camp and Conference Center. Class members will bond and team build and likely surprise themselves as they learn more about themselves and their leadership styles.

Leadership Rowlett exists to identify and motivate emerging community leaders. It strives to further develop their leadership potential by introducing them to service opportunities in the Rowlett Area. The insight participants gain as they explore the inner workings of the community form the foundation for long-term involvement in Rowlett in a variety of leadership roles. Alumni of the program include many who went on to serve in elected and other public positions throughout the city and in the Chamber.

In addition to the retreat, the annual trip to Austin and the 7 other program days the class will do a book study where they will dig into how what it really means to be a community and will decide on and do some sort of “sweat equity” project. The project will be something that impacts the community and that requires the participation of all class members.
