LSKC Testimonials
In its seventeenth year, Leadership South Kansas City has had an impact on over 200 particpants who have gained a greater knowledge and understanding of the Kansas City Region. Below are what some participants have said about the program.
"The Leadership Conference was an eye opening experience and was a great time to be a participant with the new development transpiring downtown. To be able to network and receive first hand knowledge and insight from the "Powers That Be" around the city as projects were being brainstormed, developed, and completed was priceless."

"The leadership program allowed me to meet new people from all different types of businesses and learn a lot about Kansas City. I've lived in KC for practically all of my life and didn't know a lot of the inter-workings of government, police, fire, and economic development. Meeting the mayor was a memorable day in the leadership class!"

"The Leadership South Kansas City class is anything but a 'class'. This is a wonderful experience that will open up your eyes to so much of what not only the Kansas Ctiy metro has, but also what the states of Missouri and Kansas offer - regardless of how long you have lived or worked in the area. You will see and experience things that you simply don't have the opportunity to experience on your own."

"The most imprtant part of this class was networking. Meeting the leaders of our community. I was so amazed how all of the places we visited were so interconnected. So many of the companies we visited inspired our class to want to go home, find every grade school child, and encourge them on to the paths we found successful for our community."

"I do not live in the Kansas City area, but commute each day. Assuming responsibility for a Kansas Ctiy branch, I needed to know the area I serve. The Leadership class gave me the opportunity to get to know Kansas City on a personal level. From the Arts & Entertainment to Bio-Science, I discovered how great Kansas City is to work and play in."
