Leadership Las Vegas was established in 1986 as a division of the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce. More than 900 community leaders have graduated from Leadership Las Vegas and continue their commitment to the growth, development and prosperity of Las Vegas!

Leadership Las Vegas is an exclusive program accepting only 48 participants representing a diverse cross-section of the community to participate annually.

The program covers topics including an in-depth review of the history of Las Vegas, gaming and tourism news, government and political insights, media and entertainment scene, business outlooks, technology growth, local education infrastructure, economic forecast, health care issues and much more!

This intensive ten-month program requires attendance to a series of session days and a unique class ‘retreat’, where the incoming participants bond and begin to develop life long relationships.

The culmination of the program is its Gala Leadership Graduation ceremony held in June.
