Leadership Bend Alumni Association

There are now nearly 600 alumni of the Leadership Bend program, which is celebrating 30 years in 2023. Leadership Bend alumni are some of the most connected and engaged leaders in our region. They represent a diverse community of influencers who build life-long, powerful relationships through the LBAA network. While each alum contributes to the region in their own significant way, all share a common passion for changing their community for the better and taking an active role in creating a strong future for all.
