What is LGH?
Leadership Greater Huntsville (LGH) is a tax exempt, charitable nonprofit whose mission is to identify, educate, inspire and connect leaders to serve the communities of Huntsville, Madison and Madison County, and the surrounding regions of Alabama.
The Leadership Experience
LGH's vision is to build a community of effective and unified leaders characterized by respect, trust and diversity, to enhance the future growth and prosperity of the region.
How do we do this? By offering unique and educational experiences through our variety of Leadership Greater Huntsville programs. We offer programs for managers and top-level executives to young professionals who are just beginning their careers. Each program is designed to show the class members our community through a new lens giving them more insight and knowledge on major topics and issues in our community. Some of the topics we cover are Public Safety, Education, Health and Wellness, Local Government, Human Services and more.
What do these programs look like? Our Leadership Greater Huntsville programs provide access to community leaders and organizations while discussing topics as they relate to the community. Classes include site visits, behind-the-scenes tours, and interactive Program Days that provide participants with a better understanding of our greater community and develop an appreciation of community resources ultimately resulting in engagement.
Sessions expose participants to a variety of perspectives, illustrating the broad array of economic, political, educational and social factors at work on all community levels. Established community leaders coordinate each program and help class participants become more educated and more prepared for service to our community.
In addition, participants discuss servant-leadership principles and apply those theories in community-wide impact projects during their program year. Topics and themes on program days include but are not limited to: Economic Base, Judicial/Law Enforcement, Local, State and Federal Governments, Alabama History and Growth, Simulated Society, Health & Human Services, Education, Innovation, Diversity & Inclusion, and Quality of Life.
