Developing Leaders
to serve Sumner County
Established in 1988
Identify
Through a friendly interview process, we identify individuals who have already demonstrated civic involvement and have appropriate career experience and long-term leadership potential.
Educate
Participants visit city and county political bodies in session, varied businesses that affect the county, selected educational institutions, important historic sites, and agencies that support the county.
Empower
Leadership Sumner offers a practical, supportive platform for community and business leaders to focus on enhancing the quality of life for all citizens of the county.
Leadership Sumner was formed to educate potential and active community leaders about the history, politics and culture of Sumner County. Well over 600 participants have graduated from the program since it began more than 30 years ago.
Our new logo combines the best of the past with familiar colors and font in the word Leadership and the choice of the supporting font used in Sumner was to give the entire logo a feeling of motion- in the way that each class continues the momentum from the cohort that came before them.
We added a tree element to symbolize growth and supported it by utilizing the color palette of our members Social Styles and how we use what we have learned to grow individually to support Sunmer County together.
