Leadership Greater
Hartford is one of the most prominent leadership organizations
in the country. We encourage and prepare diverse people to
address common concerns in our community.
No matter what your age,
socioeconomic level, home town, or occupation, Leadership
Greater Hartford has a program to help you further your career
or your retirement, your interests, and your relationships
in Greater Hartford. We combine first class
leadership skill enhancement with first hand insights into
Hartford’s accomplishments and challenges and hands-on team
projects. No other organization or program offers this
unique mix of personal and professional development with
real-world results.
In 1977, members of
the
Greater Hartford
Chamber of Commerce,
with financial support from the
Hartford Foundation
for Public Giving,
created a yearlong leadership training program, known then as
the Leadership Greater Hartford program. LGH was founded to
address four goals:
- Provide current
and emerging leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to
be effective in a changing world;
- Create a network
that reflects and embraces the wide diversity of leadership
within the community;
- Provide a forum
for people from different experiences to come together and
undertake collaborative endeavors;
- Engage members to
assume important community leadership roles for the future.
Since then, more than
4,000 have participated in our leadership programs. They range
from emerging youth leaders to older adults redefining
"retirement."
Today, our mission has evolved to
reflect our broader purpose and audience:
"We
awaken and help realize the leadership potential of people and
inspire them to build strong and vibrant workplaces and
communities throughout Greater Hartford."
