Leadership Sioux Falls Names Members of Class 40
Thirty-nine individuals have been selected to comprise the 40th class of the Evan C. Nolte Leadership Sioux Falls program. Class participants, who represent a variety of businesses, industries and non-profit agencies, will spend the next eight months learning about our community and honing their personal leadership skills.
Leadership Sioux Falls is a signature program of the Greater Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. It uses the community as its classroom and is designed to meet the community’s need for active participation of informed and dedicated community leaders. The goal of the program is to inform, challenge and motivate participants by providing information on community resources, discussing community concerns, interacting with community leaders and building a sense of community trusteeship.
More than 1,150 participants have graduated from the program. Graduates have gone on to serve the community and the region in a number of public and private leadership positions.
The class runs October through May each year, with applications accepted over the summer. This year, more than 75 applications were received for LSF class 40. Due to the nature of the program, class size is limited each year.
