To Launch Professional Development Program (PDP) Series
MEMPHIS, TENN. …Leadership Memphis (LM), the city’s foremost community leadership development organization, has partnered with Executive Leadership International (eli) to create Professional Development Program (PDP) sessions.

“We are so pleased to partner with eli and offer the PDP series, which will further engage not only our own Leadership Memphis alumni, but other leaders in the Mid-South area by providing them with a roadmap on how to specifically buy-in to their respective community roles,” said David Williams, president and CEO of Leadership Memphis. “The LM Executive Program involves nine-months of commitment and is available to a limited number of people, while these half-day workshops create an alternative for a larger group of people to learn about community leadership a specific topic at a time. The more people who understand the ‘how to’ dynamics of effective community leadership, boards and commissions as well as political engagement, the better off Memphis will be. This is also a vital step in extending our programmatic goals to increase innovative community leadership, stimulate civic engagement and advance inclusivity.”
