Photos by: Braden Dimick
Leadership Greater Topeka is a community leadership program of the Greater Topeka Partnership. LGT identifies aspiring and established leaders from the community and introduces them to the opportunities and needs of Topeka and Shawnee County while also teaching adaptive leadership concepts.
Participants are nominated by individuals and organizations. Nominees who complete an application go through a brief conversation with the LGT selection committee. The committee then selects individuals with the goal to build a class that is representative of the diversity within the community.
