Leadership Greater Topeka Accepting Nominations for 2023 Class

Leadership Greater Topeka (LGT) is now accepting nominations for its class of 2023. Individuals living and working in Topeka and Shawnee County are invited to nominate candidates they believe demonstrate exceptional leadership ability. Individuals driven to make a difference in their community may also nominate themselves. Nominations should be submitted at TopekaPartnership.com/LGT-nominations. 

“LGT is an important program for Topeka, and one that has developed and graduated many of the outstanding leaders who are moving our community forward,” said Michelle Cuevas-Stubblefield, the Greater Topeka Partnership’s senior vice president of strategy and LGT supervisor. “We hope to see a strong pool of candidates nominated for the next cohort.”

Those selected for the 2023 class will participate in a five-month-long program that runs January through mid-May and consists of a two-day retreat and eight day-long sessions, primarily occurring on Fridays. Those sessions cover key community concerns and opportunities surfacing throughout Topeka and Shawnee County, and participants learn adaptive and technical leadership skills that will serve them well into the future. LGT participants also graduate from the program with a greater understanding of Topeka/Shawnee County and a better idea of how to create change and get results through their community involvement.

High-school juniors and above are eligible to be nominated for LGT. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 16. For questions about the program or eligibility, please contact Cuevas-Stubblefield at Michelle.Stubblefield@TopekaPartnership.com.
