Each year, 55 people representing the diversity of Central Texas are selected to participate in the Leadership Austin Essential Class. The curriculum focuses on regional issues, leadership skills, and the building of strong networks to encourage innovative, collaborative solutions to the region's challenges. Since 1979, more than 1,300 individuals have graduated from the Essential Class - people who now serve on the policy boards of many local and national organizations, foundations, chambers of commerce, and schools. These Alumni have created inventive, award-winning programs to address community needs, and today they continue their good work as powerful agents for change to make Central Texas better for all who live here.
The 2008-09 Essential Class is presented by the Seton Family of Hospitals.
