Each year, the Greater Topeka Partnership identifies a new cohort of local leaders through Leadership Greater Topeka (LGT), a civic program that helps participants better understand their community while developing adaptive leadership skills.
Throughout the program, participants explore the most pressing issues and opportunities facing Topeka and Shawnee County, building connections and skills that make our region stronger.
The selection process begins with nominations from community members and local organizations. Nominees then complete an application and interview with LGT’s selection committee, which carefully selects each class to represent different backgrounds, industries and viewpoints across the community.
