This is the 42nd year of Leadership Cobb! There have been many exceptional programs and great leaders who have completed the Leadership Cobb experience and given back to their community in numerous ways.
As committee co-chairs for 2025-2026, we need your leadership to move this class forward while focusing their attention on your particular program. Our aim is to bring this diverse group together to better understand their community, their region, and each other. We want participants to feel inspired to take action and give back while fostering meaningful connections with each other. While acknowledging and respecting the various stages of each other’s leadership journey, this class will be motivated to take all the offerings of Leadership Cobb and Lead The Way. This will be a year of courageous conversations, barriers removed, and collective action.

As a Committee Co-Chair, you are responsible for the general planning and overall execution of your respective program. This includes maintaining a planning timeline, up to date run-of-show, and program budget. You are also entrusted with engaging and delegating to your committee.
Kai Lawrence will serve as a resource organizing ideas, maintaining an accurate run-of show, and providing information from previous class years.
Committee members are an invaluable resource recruiting speakers, sponsors, and venues. Be sure to assign tasks throughout the planning process to maximize your members’ skillsets. As a Co-Chair, you should be included on all communication with prospective speakers, sponsors, and venues. When confirming speakers, sponsors, and venues, please include Kai for follow up and documentation.
Outline a tentative schedule with suggested speakers. When selecting speakers, check with Kai to ensure that we do not have duplicate speakers throughout the year.
Committee Assignments: Decide which of you will take responsibility for contacting each potential participant. Always remember to re-confirm speakers two weeks before the program. This assigned committee member should also be responsible for greeting, hosting, introducing, monitoring presentation time, and thanking the speaker during the program.
