What a celebration at our May Luncheon! 🎉
With a sold-out crowd, we had the privilege of celebrating two incredible milestones for our community.
First, we joined College of Western Idaho in celebrating the momentum of their largest commencement ceremony ever, held right here in Nampa at the Ford Idaho Center, a facility they now proudly own. Thank you to CWI for sponsoring this month’s luncheon, and to President Gordon Jones for his leadership, vision, and continued support of workforce development in Nampa.
We also celebrated the Leadership Nampa Class of 2026 as they officially reached alumni status! This class has spent the past nine months learning, connecting, and growing as leaders in our community, and we couldn’t be prouder to welcome them into the Leadership Nampa alumni family.
A special thank you to Ché Lanuza, our Leadership Development Facilitator, for an engaging keynote message about intention—and for the time, energy, and heart he has poured into this program and its people.
We are also grateful to our Leadership Nampa sponsors, College of Western Idaho and Les Schwab Tire Centers, for helping make this program possible.
Congratulations, Leadership Nampa Class of 2026! We can’t wait to see how you continue to lead, serve, and make an impact in Nampa. 👏
