About

Leadership Katy is the premier civic leadership development program in the Katy area aimed at convening, connecting and mobilizing a pipeline of promising leaders to explore and address key business and community issues in the Katy community.

The Program

Each year, individuals will be selected to participate in a 9-month program that meets once a month. Participants receive in-depth exposure to the issues facing the community through lectures, discussion groups, on-site visits, simulations, and other leadership development activities. The program enables participants to develop their leadership capacities, build strong relationships, and prepare themselves for the challenges of the years to come.

Tuition for the program is $2,800 which covers all transportation, hotel accommodations, and meals. Leadership Katy will meet on the 1st Wednesday of each month unless otherwise noted.
