THOMASVILLE — Imagine Thomasville and the Thomasville-Thomas County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the 24 members of Leadership Thomas Class 42. This program, now entering its 42nd year, continues to cultivate a strong network of engaged community leaders committed to shaping the future of Thomasville and Thomas County.

Since its creation in 1981, Leadership Thomas has identified, developed, and connected individuals from a broad range of backgrounds to foster civic responsibility, personal growth, and collaborative leadership. As one of the earliest Chamber-led leadership initiatives in the state of Georgia, the program carries forward a strong tradition of excellence, thanks in part to the vision of founding leader Lloyd Eckberg.

Class 42 will begin their yearlong journey with a leadership retreat this August. The program includes nine in-depth monthly sessions focused on key sectors such as economic development, healthcare, government, education, the arts, law enforcement, and human services. Leadership development will be guided by curriculum from the J.W. Fanning Institute for Leadership Development at the University of Georgia.

Throughout the year, the class will also collaborate on a capstone project that addresses a real issue in our community, challenging them to apply their knowledge, creativity, and leadership in a meaningful and impactful way.
