Our Alumni Say...

  • "Leadership Lafayette gave me an objective assessment of my own communication and leadership skills while reflecting on how I could put these skills to best use in our community. It also opened my eyes to the daily challenges faced by the less fortunate in our community. ... Some 13 years later, I still see the residual effects, including lasting friendships forged with my fellow participants."

    Jim MacDonald, Gettings Reed Financial Service, Leadership Lafayette Class 11
