Founded in 1979, the organization has graduated more than 3,377 community leaders and continues to be a ground-breaking innovator with new programs and action initiatives that drive educational achievement, diversity and inclusivity, and collective impact.

The organization’s programs develop community leaders at every level from seasoned professionals and emerging talent to front-line leaders.

Leadership Memphis hosts three signature events annually designed to create stronger connections between our alumni, sponsors, community partners, and other business and community leaders in support of our vision, mission, and goals. Our signature events are The Community Leadership Luncheon, Multicultural Breakfast, and Alumni Holiday Party.

Our action initiative, Volunteer Memphis, is undertaken to help enhance our city economically and socially by increasing volunteerism throughout the Mid-South.
