Celebrating 50 Years of Civic Leadership

Welcome to a momentous year as Leadership Denver (LD) proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary! As one of the longest-standing leadership programs in the United States, LD has been a force for positive change in the Denver Metro community. This journey has connected and shaped leaders who now extend their influence across the nation.

At the heart of LD’s journey lies the transformative power of effective leadership, creating a robust network of actively engaged civic leaders who aspire to champion their communities. By fostering tight-knit networks of both personal and professional relationships, LD equips leaders to collaborate effectively. This enables them to draw upon these connections across their lifetimes, not only to address challenges and drive meaningful change but also to stay connected and build a strong network with others who have shared in this program.
