&lt;br /&gt;
Celebrating 55 years of cultivating community leaders, Leadership Raleigh stands as one of the nation&amp;rsquo;s longest-standing leadership programs. This signature ten-month experience invites around 100 leaders (across two cohorts) to engage deeply with our region through presentations, collaborative panels, immersive behind-the-scenes tours, and civic involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Participants learn firsthand from regional business executives, elected officials, and non-profit leaders, gaining an in-depth understanding of our community&amp;rsquo;s challenges and opportunities in various areas. They also collaborate on team-based service projects that contribute tangible, meaningful impact across the Triangle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Though the application period is currently closed, the program looks forward to welcoming a new cohort when applications reopen in Spring 2026.&lt;br /&gt;
