Established in 1979, Leadership Macon is a leadership training program that focuses on developing community leaders in Macon and Bibb counties. Since its inception, over 1,500 people have completed the Leadership Macon program. Each year’s class is chosen through a competitive nomination process that evaluates each candidate’s leadership traits and potential.
The year long Leadership Macon program begins with a weekend retreat and continues with monthly seminars. Speakers and facilitators lead the seminars, discussing complex problems and various approaches to issues facing the area. Topics include housing, education, economic development, race relations, tourism, and local government. Discussion points may change year to year, depending on current concerns facing the community at large. Participants are spurred on to dig deeper into these and other issues by sharing their viewpoints and engaging in productive discussion.
Graduates of Leadership Macon are encouraged to become active leaders in Macon and Bibb counties. The skills and lessons they learn equip them to be informed advocates for solutions to the challenges facing their communities and neighborhoods.
