The mission of Leadership Seacoast is to positively impact the communities of the Seacoast area by developing a base of effective, knowledgeable, and engaged leaders through exploration of community issues, effective leadership practices, and opportunities for personal involvement.

Founded in 1988 by a group of seacoast community leaders concerned with encouraging volunteer involvement and strong regional leadership, Leadership Seacoast was one of the first leadership programs nationally, modeled after a similar successful program begun in Atlanta.

Leadership Seacoast follows the national design of offering existing and future community leaders the opportunity to meet others who are actively involved in efforts that will shape the future of our region.

Leadership Seacoast graduated its 21st class in June, and has an alumni base of over 570 throughout the region.  Many of the region's most influential leaders are alumni of the program.  We are currently recruiting candidates for the class of 2010, which will begin in January 2010.
