Alexandria, VA – We’re proud to announce the Leadership Alexandria Class of 2027!
Over the next nine months, this class of 24 emerging and established leaders will take a deeper look at the people, places, issues, and opportunities shaping our community.
Through immersive experiences, leadership development, and meaningful conversations with local leaders, participants will expand their understanding of Alexandria, strengthen and refine their leadership skills, and build lasting connections along the way.
We’re excited to welcome this talented group to the Leadership Alexandria community and look forward to seeing how they put their experience into action throughout the year and beyond!
