The mission of L.E.A.D.
Athens is to develop effective leaders committed to building a
vibrant community. The

inspiring leaders to exceed both their individual and collective
potential.
The networks built in
L.E.A.D. Athens are invaluable. Participants are guaranteed to
walk away from the program with an experience that will last a
lifetime. L.E.A.D.
Athens helps individuals exceed their highest aspirations and work
to build a stronger, better community.
This is an intense year- long program that
explores a myriad number of issues. Participants delve into
economic development at a state, regional and local level. They
learn what we have now and explore how we need to address the
future. They also come to understand the workings of the health
care system and local government.
Excellence in education is critical in our
community and participants get a full view and experience of our
educational system. They scrutinize everything from kindergarten to
the area's five colleges and universities.
Quality of life is a tremendous drawing card to
the area and L.E.A.D. Athens explores the greenways, walks historic
neighborhoods and visits downtown historic preservation
efforts.
Intense, well rounded and fun are words that

Kind," "Back to the Future," "Remember the Titans," and graduation
