In the
   BEGINNING: a diverse group of dedicated individuals created a leadership program unique to the Lexington County experience.  This group became known as Lexington County Planning for the Future and evolved into Leadership Lexington County.

Many of the charter members of this organization directed and participated in the first year.  In 1995, the inaugural class of Leadership Lexington County graduated at Riverbanks Zoo. This dynamic grassroots organization quickly evolved due to the sponsorships offered by the Midlands business community.  This funding allows the program to remain accessible to all applicants. Partnered with the public and private sector, the organization has grown and established an extensive alumni base.

Beyond the scope of this four month educational endeavor, the Leadership Lexington County Alumni Association continues this social and educational opportunity through multiple yearly programs.  This function allows class members to be reunited periodically.
