“Building Tomorrow’s Leaders Today”
The purpose of Leadership Burleson is to create an opportunity for each participant to gain an expanded knowledge of the community, to build relationships with other professionals, to engage with political, civic and business leaders, and to create opportunities for a more active role of local leadership and volunteerism.


In 2015, the Burleson Chamber rolled out a new program for professionals who work in and around the City of Burleson. Leadership Burleson graduated it’s first class in February of 2016. The group meets for monthly half-day sessions through November, an eight month program.
Leadership Burleson Class members serve in leadership capacities in their organizations and are committed to personal growth, career advancement and serving the Burleson community.
The Chamber offers one Leadership Burleson class annually. Contact the Burleson Chamber for more details.
