On Friday, Leadership Nashville announced the upcoming class of 2024-2025.
The program's 48th iteration will begin in September. The nine-month executive-level program will consist of a course that focuses on issues related to government and media; diversity, equity and inclusion; business; education; quality of life; health; arts and entertainment; and public safety.
“Selection for each carefully curated class is difficult because of the large number of very qualified applicants,” Leadership Nashville Executive Director Everette White said in a release.
