"The Leadership Jackson program conducted by the Jackson Chamber has been the catalyst in bringing Jackson & Madison County’s brightest and most energetic into the reservoir of this County’s future leaders.
The literally hundreds of graduates of this program are extremely well prepared to take this great city to the next level, whether it be in the private or public sectors.
Progress often demands on new ideas and innovations. As well, it often demands changes in peoples’ attitudes and behavior. Leadership Jackson is the one program where an individual can turn to be properly equipped to initiate these new ideas and innovations."
Mayor Jerry Gist, City of Jackson

Leadership Jackson has had a very profound impact on my life. I see our city and county through much different eyes than before. LJ made me more sensitive to and appreciative of our community and gave me the confidence I needed to step out and make a difference. It has opened doors of service to me and enriched my life with great friendships.

As a new person moving into the Jackson area, Leadership Jackson was an incredible experience for me. It put me on the fast track to getting to know the area and the business community. Outside of work and church, my circle of friends and business associates has come primarily through Leadership Jackson. I can not think of a better way of preparing employees for leadership and getting them out in the community than through this program. The training is outstanding, and designed to help participants become a better employee, manager, community member and person. I am sold on Leadership Jackson!
Dr. Keith Absher, Dean, McAfee School of Business, Union University
