The LEADERSHIP GERMANTOWN Program begins in January with an evening Get Acquainted Social followed by exciting, updated class sessions including a three day Team Trek experience in Heber Springs, Arkansas.  Team Trek is a team building and leadership program utilized by Leadership Memphis and corporate clients such as FedEx, Smith & Nephew and International Paper.  This three day session is MANDATORY for the Leadership Germantown program.

Additional sessions, which will run thru mid-June, include topics such as State Government, County Government, County Education, City Government, History/Quality of Life, Hands on Leadership, The Chamber of Commerce, our Medical community and a class service project.
