Leadership Lowndes was established in 1988 by local leaders with a passion and vision for the growth and development of Lowndes County. Using the collective talents and abilities of emerging and existing community leaders, a program was developed that would expose these leaders to the strengths and weaknesses of our local area and provide them with the opportunities to match needs with available resources.
Since the first Leadership Lowndes Class of 1989, over 600 leaders have graduated and countless services hours have been poured into local agencies and organizations. A significant number of alumni continue to pour their lives into community organizations as a result of the community exposure that is carefully built into each program day.
