Leadership Las Vegas

Leadership Las Vegas is ideal for executives and accomplished professionals wanting to expand their knowledge in the community to become more effective leaders.
The key to Leadership Las Vegas’ success is its focus on community building, civic responsibility and leadership development. Class members develop a deeper understanding of the region, its challenges and opportunities, to become more effective leaders and change agents through the 10-month program.
The program has more than 1,600 alumni who have gone into significant leadership roles in local and state government, business, nonprofit, and community roles. The program is also known for developing lasting friendships and robust networks.
The Leadership Las Vegas experience begins with a three-day opening retreat where the class gets to know each other. Through monthly day-long sessions, class members develop new perspectives on the community by exploring the inner-workings of Las Vegas, including its greatest strengths and most challenging issues, hearing from area experts and leaders, and participating in interactive tours, simulations, and other exclusive activities. The culmination of the program is a graduation gala and ceremony held in June.

Las Vegas City Councilman
“Leadership Las Vegas (LLV) was life changing for me. I grew up in Las Vegas and, like everyone, saw the growth of our city over the years. But, LLV showed me what was behind that growth… from our community’s beginnings, to the present, and what could await us in the future. Hearing the truth, the challenges, and the hopes of leaders in tourism, education, health, business, and community safety personally stirred a new beginning in me. LLV helped me to understand how and where my passion, talent, and time could create a positive impact on my city. I am forever grateful to Leadership Las Vegas. What you learn about this community and your potential could change your life and influence this city. Apply for Leadership Las Vegas and find out.”
