History and Purpose
Leadership
Lewisville is a community leadership development program sponsored by the
Lewisville Chamber of Commerce. The course was created in 1986 to identify,
educate, develop, and motivate future leaders for community involvement by
exposing them to the realities, opportunities and problems of our civic and
business community.
Program participants commit
to becoming familiar with Lewisville and the issues that confront our city
and our county. With the phenomenal growth our area is experiencing comes a
multitude of challenges as well as opportunities. Our ability to meet these
challenges is dependent on individuals who will assume positions of civic,
community and government leadership.
The Leadership Lewisville
program provides the foundation of knowledge and the tools necessary to
ensure that our potential leaders understand the issues and actively
participate in activities which contribute to the growth and betterment of
the Lewisville community.
