Program
Since 1981, Leadership Amarillo & Canyon (LAC) has educated and developed area leaders on the challenges facing our community. Our ten-month leadership development program is designed to introduce leadership tools that will make better employees, leading to a better workplace, better families and ultimately a better community. Participants will meet one day a month to learn and tour various businesses and industries in the community. The curriculum presented will teach participants first-hand knowledge of leadership and how these tools will have direct application for their business and personal lives.
