Leadership Tri-Cities has selected its Class 30 participants. 

Founded in 1994, the program provides an educational program aimed at developing knowledgeable leaders to serve the community and a forum to examine and discuss issues facing the region. 

Every year, Leadership Tri-Cities gathers a diverse set of 25 to 30 leaders to form a class and learn from the top executives in our region.  

During the 11-month leadership development program, class members go through 10 full-day sessions that cover various sectors and industries in the Tri-Cities, including human needs and services, education, agriculture, law enforcement and justice, Hanford, economic development, local and state government, medical and community health, and art and entertainment. 

Each class also is responsible for a community project.
