Leadership Knoxville’s Flagship Program began in 1984 with more than 1,300 leaders from business, education, healthcare, government, religious institutions, non-profit and arts organizations participating in the program. The 10-month learning experience provides opportunities to explore community issues, hone leadership skills and expand community connections into lifetime friendships. The curriculum is based on servant leadership principles. Leadership Knoxville’s mission is “we build a stronger Knoxville by developing people and groups, leading to a greater community.” This is accomplished through leadership programs, community workshops, and events designed to inspire, challenge, and connect people at all levels of leadership development.
