Leadership Northwest Missouri is recruiting its new class and is now accepting applications for its 2027 class.
Leadership Northwest Missouri offers emerging and established leaders the opportunity to connect, grow and gain a deeper understanding of the region they call home. The seven-month program requires just eight days of participants’ time, but the relationships, experiences and leadership skills gained often last far beyond graduation. Applications are due November 1st, 2026.
Leadership Northwest Missouri goes beyond a traditional leadership seminar. Participants travel throughout the 19-county region, learning firsthand about the opportunities and challenges facing Northwest Missouri while developing practical leadership skills and building a strong network of connections across communities and industries.
