The Flagship Program

The Leadership Lynchburg Flagship Program is designed for aspiring or emerging leaders, managers, and first time supervisors in the Lynchburg region. This dynamic program immerses participants in nine months of study and practical application of community leadership. Through monthly sessions, participants learn from top leaders in our region, study and work together to solve pressing community issues, all while developing their personal leadership skills. Participants walk away with increased self-awareness, leadership acumen, community connections and involvement.
