Leadership West Virginia is an innovative program that grows, engages, and mobilizes leaders to ignite a lifelong passion to move West Virginia forward.
A growing need for qualified and visionary leaders in West Virginia remains at the forefront of our state’s future. We exist to address the need for leadership training in the state. The competitive, annual, seven-month training program provides participants unparalleled educational and leadership opportunities.
Leadership WV holds a truly special place in my heart. It was the launching pad that helped put me on my professional path, and the impact it had on me has been lasting. I will always be deeply grateful for that experience.
Alumni should serve as ambassadors for both Leadership WV and for West Virginia. I believe we have a duty to give back to the people and experiences that have made a difference in our lives. Leadership WV did that for me and for many others.
