Sponsored by Southside Bank This series is designed to quickly orient incoming executive to the community and its resources so they become more knowledgeable about this area and how business is done in Tyler/Smith County; proud and excited to have chosen to relocate to this area; and deeply invested in our growth now and in the future. The objectives include acquainting participants about the history; business environment; political and civic structures; cultural; recreational; and other resources. It also provides the participants the opportunity to interact with a cross-section of key local and regional leaders and decision makers as well as introducing participants to other executives and professional individuals and couples. ABOUT LEADERSHIP TYLER: Leadership Tyler was established in 1986 for the purpose of identifying, motivating, and developing future leadership in Tyler. During the development of Leadership Tyler, one of the founding members stated “we want this first class of Leadership Tyler to develop an esprit de corps that will transcend race, political, and occupational affiliation. We want these participants to develop a bond with one common goal: How can we improve the quality of life in Tyler?” Improving Tyler is exactly what Leadership Tyler Alumni have done since the first class graduated in 1987. The Leadership Tyler Core Program has graduated alumni who are well-informed, committed, and passionately engaged in creating a vital, positive community for current and future generations. Leadership Tyler's lasting legacy is its graduates - more than 550 core program members and now 14 Executive Orientation Series alumni serve as policy-level community trustees for dozens of different organizations, as elected and appointed officials, and as leaders in the private, public and non-profit sectors of Smith County. Leadership Tyler is a non-profit 501(c) 3 and is supported through tuition and program fees, alumni membership dues, individual contributions and corporate sponsorship. Contributions to Leadership Tyler greatly help us in achieving a vision of a community rich in leaders who are well informed, committed, and passionately engaged in creating a vital, positive community for current and future generations. Leadership Tyler provides the training for leaders who then in turn affect their places of work, neighborhoods, families, and more than 200 non-profit organizations in the Smith County area.
