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, 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.
