Leadership Lincoln

Engage. Connect. Serve.

Since 1985, Leadership Lincoln has been developing strong leaders for a stronger Lincoln. At its core, Leadership Lincoln believes leadership is not positional, but relational. We believe effective leadership is grounded in curiosity, informed by diverse perspectives, and strengthened through meaningful connection. By bringing people together across sectors and lived experiences, we create space for dialogue, challenge assumptions, and foster the civic responsibility needed to lead with purpose. Our philosophy centers on developing leaders who listen first, act thoughtfully, and remain committed to the long-term vitality of the Lincoln community.

Now in our 41st year, Leadership Lincoln brings together individuals from across the community, offering meaningful experiences, practical tools, and skill-building opportunities that prepare them to lead thoughtfully and make a lasting impact.

"I would recommend any and everyone, even if you are in an entry or midlevel job, because you are getting exposed to all different people, networking... I mean it really is one of the best experiences ever.
Yami Bazan, Executive 38

"I would encourage anyone who's in leadership and thinking about ways to get more involved in leadership to give this a try... it will give much more back to any company or any part of the city that they're involved in."
Paul Hart, Youth 29

"I've learned about inclusive leadership, leading by example, helping others... making sure that life is less of a competition and more of a collaboration, and that changes my whole perspective on everything."
