Leadership Harris County has proven to be a quality program for its participants.  Our goal is to build, through a well developed program, a network of leaders who will actively engage in Chamber and Community projects. The Chamber has graduated over 30 leadership classes. Students participate in sessions on professional, community and economic development as well as Servant Leadership.  Participants will graduate in December better prepared to tackle the responsibilities of community involvement & professional leadership.
