Leadership Cobb

The Program

Leadership Cobb was founded in 1983 by a nucleus of leaders as a grassroots effort to find those with the ability to lead a community primed for growth – and all the challenges that go with it.

This leadership development program provides sixty diverse and qualified individuals a learning environment that enhances personal and professional growth to benefit the community and its region.

Through participation in a one year program of structured activity, members become familiar with current issues, community resources and the social, political, and economic needs of the community. Participants leave the program better qualified and more encouraged to take an active role in the decision making process in Cobb County.
