The Leadership Hilliard program has graduated four classes since
its inception in 2002. Our graduates come from many business
backgrounds and organizations. City employees, school officials,
bankers, lawyers, homemakers, realtors and self-employed individuals
are among the many alums that can recommend Leadership Hilliard.

"I truly enjoyed my experience with Leadership Hilliard. I
found the collaboration of many different individuals from
diverse backgrounds refreshing. Our group really grew together
as we learned more about the Hilliard community and undertook
our group project of placing Art on the Trail. I would highly
recommend this class as a way to learn about the community,
strengthen your leadership skills and to participate in a
meaningful project that benefits Hilliard. I am so grateful for
the relationships that were developed with my classmates and
community partners through Leadership Hilliard."
Connie McLaughlin
"I have very much enjoyed the speakers and topics
presented through Leadership Hilliard. We have had a wide range
of elements that have been shared with us that go into being a
good leader that will be valuable whether in a position of
leadership or not. I would highly recommend the program to
anyone who either works with people or supervises people. I plan
to share the values learned with the management staff I work
with."

VP, Human Resources, Western Credit Union, Inc.
"I have met many other business people throughout the
community and that has helped me to broaden my contacts and
build a tighter network. On top of that, I have also been more
informed of what is going on in the community, when certain
meetings are held, and who to contact if I have any questions on
anything. It has been a great experience and I would recommend
Leadership Hilliard to all who enjoy showing leadership and for
those who like to be informed in what is going on in their
community."
