“Our Leadership Memphis program brings together the brightest local executives so they can learn more about themselves, each other, and the greater community,” said David Williams, Leadership Memphis President/CEO. “The Executive Program does not teach participants to be leaders – it helps leaders learn about our community,” Williams said.

Nearly 2,000 alumni have completed the Executive, FastTrack, and Grassroots programs. Among them are mayors, City Council members, County Commissioners, City of Memphis executives, Shelby County executives, 21 federal government executives, executives of civic and community organizations, public and private corporation executives, clergy representing over a dozen denominations, school or school system faculty and administrators, health care executives, professionals (doctors, attorneys, and accountants), and small business owners. Over 40% of Leadership Memphis’ alumni are African-American, Latino, Asian, or of another culture.
