Leadership LBK

Premier leadership program for business and civic leaders

Leadership LBK continues to be one of the most competitive leadership programs in the area attracting seasoned and emerging leaders. Since its inception in 1975 Leadership LBK has graduated more than 1,100 leaders. 

Participants accepted into the year-long program attend monthly, day-long sessions that highlight industries and topics important to Lubbock. The Leadership LBK committee thoughtfully plans and develops the curriculum, so each class hears a variety of perspectives on leadership while developing a strong foundation to expand their leadership in the community.

What are participants saying:

"Reading through the list of graduates of Leadership Lubbock since 1975 is akin to reading the very story of Lubbock’s dynamic success, growth, and prosperity since that time. There is no other program that can be as clearly connected to the preparation, building, and strengthening of Lubbock’s future."

"The connections you build in Leadership Lubbock are second to none! Also, the inside exposure you have to the most interesting places in Lubbock, as well as Lubbock's top leaders and professionals is such a gift. As someone coming back into the workforce, it truly changed my engagement within our community."
