The Leadership New Braunfels class of 2025 has been selected and approved with 30 business representatives making the roster. The 2025 class marks the 33rd group of business and civic leaders to go through the program, which boasts an alumni association of more than 700.
Leadership New Braunfels strives to develop individuals to serve in leadership roles in their business careers and civic endeavors. Throughout the program, participants will have the opportunity to meet New Braunfels and Comal County leaders, build their leadership skills, and develop valuable relationships with their classmates.
The program consists of a series of one-day sessions, beginning in October, covering topics such as government, economic development, education, social needs, and other key segments of the community. Also in October, the class will participate in a two-day, overnight retreat. In addition to attending the class days, participants will form teams to and participate in a group project to be presented on graduation day in May 2025.
Participation in the program requires a serious time commitment and participants are expected to adhere to a strict attendance policy. Upon meeting attendance and participation requirements, the class members will participate in a graduation ceremony and become Leadership New Braunfels Alumni.
