Leadership Grand Prairie

Leadership Grand Prairie offers an educational experience designed to develop an awareness of the City and its relationship to the Metroplex. The program provides personal leadership training facilitated by local business executives, city officials, and Maxwell Certified trainers, using John C. Maxwell’s book “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”. At the conclusion of the program, participants will be better prepared for leadership roles within their business and community.

Through the Leadership program, participants learn how to best utilize their leadership skills, while learning about the local community. Meeting and speaking with key community leaders about the inner workings of the city proved to be a valuable experience.

As a result of my Leadership Grand Prairie experience, I have been able to further enhance my business growth and improve my own leadership proficiency.

I strongly recommend this program for anyone who is a leader – or looking to become a leader. The skills, contacts and experiences gained from this program are invaluable.

Leadership Grand Prairie is entering its 35th year in 2020, with over 675 alumni to date. This nine month course is open to the community and surrounding businesses. While students have a variety of reasons for exploring the course, one thing is for sure – “The Grand Prairie Leadership Course will enhance today’s leaders for tomorrow’s leadership opportunities” (Kurt Johnson-US Navy).

The Leadership classes are held on the first Wednesday of each month from August 2020 – May 2021, from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Program topics include: City Day, Criminal Justice & Public Safety, Arts & Culture, Education, Health & Human Services, Legislative Trip to Austin, Economic Development and Tourism. The Leadership Class participants will learn about these topics as they relate to the community and the surrounding DFW Metroplex.

Due to COVID-19, we will be postponing our Leadership Grand Prairie Program.  Stay tuned for details on our next program.
