What is Leadership Alexandria?

Creating a Community of Leaders

Leadership Alexandria is a unique program that brings together a network of diverse community leaders who are committed to improving the quality of life in Alexandria. Through experiential learning and in-depth discussions, participants explore issues such as education, city government, health care, public safety and the economy.

Mission

The mission of Leadership Alexandria is to be a catalyst for leadership potential in existing and emerging leaders to serve and unify the community of Alexandria.

Leadership Alexandria's purpose is to provide community leaders with a deeper understanding of the critical issues affecting the City of Alexandria in an environment that furthers their leadership skills and encourages graduates to take their knowledge and experience into the community for the betterment of the City as a whole.

"Alexandria's prominence as a leader in the region is attributable to a long history of involvement in the community by civic, business and political leaders who bring to their service a sense of pride, vision and accountability – all positive characteristics of the members of Leadership Alexandria."

– William D. Euille
Mayor
City of Alexandria
