Why Sponsor Leadership Mississippi?

Leadership Mississippi has a rich history of strengthening and improving our state. It is the second oldest leadership program in the United States. 

Leadership Mississippi has graduated 30 classes with more than 900 graduates total. Many graduates hold public offices, including Mississippi Secretary of State, federal and state judges, legislators, mayors, and other local government officials. Other graduates are heads of major corporations, local chambers of commerce, economic development groups and civic organizations. Many more are successful entrepreneurs.

Leadership Mississippi's goal is to:
    Develop and maintain a network of Mississippians committed to strengthening our state's quality of life.


Leadership Mississippi's objectives are:
    1. To identify Mississippians who have demonstrated leadership potential 
        through job-related and community activities
    2. To train participants by sharpening their leadership skills
    3. To motivate participants by increasing awareness of community and state 
        challenges, involving participants in problem-solving activities on issues of 
        current interest, and providing a network of leaders across the state who
        are actively involved in improving Mississippi's quality of life.

Testimonials

Leadership Mississippi is an opportunity for leaders to network together and build positive relationships that will strengthen Mississippi by connecting us across the subjects that divide us.
Dave Dennis, Past Chair, Leadership Mississippi, 1994 Graduate Leadership Mississippi, President Specialty Contractors, Pass Christian

The Leadership Mississippi program has given me an appreciation of all the issues that impact Mississippi on a daily basis and the knowledge and network to improve and overcome the obstacles
Jeffrey Webster, Leadership Mississippi 2007, Director of Human Resources, Nissan North America, Inc.

Moving Leadership Mississippi across our beautiful state and highlighting the many areas where our citizens have made a difference in their communities, engages not only the current class participants but also gives the business and community leaders an opportunity to share what they have done to improve the quality of life for their friends and neighbors. This sharing and learning will help build friendships and relationships which are the basis for building consensus on issues that drive us toward solutions that will work for all of us.
Robin Robinson, Chair M.B. Swayze Educational Foundation, 1989 Graduate of Leadership Mississippi, Director of Organization Development & Corporate Communication, Sanderson Farms

Leadership Mississippi provides a unique opportunity for participants to meet many wonderful people, expand their knowledge of issues facing our state and local communities and to work together to make a difference. I value the relationships that were forged and the knowledge that I gained during the program, and can honestly say the experience continues to influence my live professionally and personally.
Melanie A. Morgan, First Vice President, 2003 Graduate of Leadership Mississippi, Director of Corporate Communications and Board Relations, Trustmark National Bank
