“LSS selects a diverse and inclusive class and intentionally keeps the class small (about 36) to encourage relationship building through activities and projects that are thought-provoking and fun,” program director Catherine Lautenbacher said in a statement. “We educate class members on the many facets of Sandy Springs and our region, give them mentors, and help them find a place in our community where they have a passion and want to contribute.”
Since its inception in 1986, the organization has developed more than 1,100 leaders who in turn devote what they’ve learned to enriching their communities and businesses through broader engagement, often serving outside of their primary vocations through membership on corporate and nonprofit boards, government councils and commissions, or spearheading volunteer programs.

For information about the program and application is on the LSS website. Applications are due March 25th and candidates will be notified by early May.
