Along the way, they will meet local leaders, visit businesses and organizations, and gain a broader understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing Shelby County.

An important part of Leadership Shelby County is putting what participants learn into action. Class members will work in teams to develop and complete community projects, giving them the opportunity to identify a need, collaborate with community partners and use their individual strengths to make a positive impact.

Leadership Shelby County has been developing local leaders since 1988 and has connected hundreds of participants with the people, resources and opportunities that make Shelby County a strong place to live, work and serve.

The Shelby County Chamber of Commerce congratulates the members of the 2026–2027 class and looks forward to seeing the connections they build, the lessons they learn and the impact they make throughout the year.
