"I am truly grateful for the opportunity to participate in LEADERSHIP Philadelphia. The program gave me an appreciation of Philadelphia, broadened my perspective to issues impacting the region, and taught me about the importance of reflection and appreciation.”

"It’s hard to believe this is the end of the road. So much has changed since September. I am absolutely thrilled to have had the opportunity to participate:

• 10 great new friends
• Dozens of new contacts
• I learned more about Philadelphia in 9 months than I did in 31 years
• I learned new things about myself
• Developed my leadership skills
• And realized the importance of civic involvement.

I will lead a more balanced, fulfilled life from here on out…Thank you LEADERSHIP staff — you changed my life!”

“I can see the complete picture now, the entire program and the real purpose of LEADERSHIP.
I started this program with three (now incorrect) assumptions: First, I’m a lifelong Philly guy. What do I need this for? Second, I’m too old for this group. Third, I teach Leadership at the grad school level. What else can they teach me?

Boy, was I wrong on all three counts!”
