Leadership Triangle has also accomplished much in its 23 years, said LT President Winkie La Force. Its mission is to support regional leadership, cooperation and communication. Its 650 alumni family, the Goodmon Fellows, work together to plan for the future-when a million more people will move into our communities to work, live and play.

Leadership Triangle has four distinct class series for college students, middle and upper managers and executives as well as an active alumni network who plans forums, luncheons and networking activities. The regional class starts in January. Find out more here.
