Leadership Southwest is excited to present a new avenue for involvement and leadership growth for the
communities of Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Duncanville, Lancaster and surrounding cities through a new and im-
proved leadership program, Leadership Southwest!
Leadership plays a significant role in
defining the culture of the South-
west Region, and this year we have
partnered with professor, Dr. Larry
Terry with UNT Dallas to come to-
gether to make opportunities for
those individuals seeking to grow as
leaders and serve their communities
and position themselves in the ar-
ea’s to make change. The secondary
goal of this 9 month Leadership Pro-
gram is to build awareness about or
local communities and encourage
the willingness to serve the public
area. That said, the idea is that each
participant will “give back” with a
community project that will impact
our community non-profits.
Since this is a revamped endeavor,
we are asking for the support of our
local businesses and municipalities
in the form of submitting a candi-
date who will benefit internally but
also their respective employer and
community.
Will you partner with us to continue
to grow and develop leaders in the
Southwest Region?
Working together to grow our up-
coming leaders and encouraging
them to serve is just another way we
can make our communities great!
Have questions? Please feel free to contact Michelle at [email protected] for more information.
Thank you for your time, and we hope to hear from you very soon!
Sincerely,
Reese Collins, 2015-16 LSW Chair
