The Premier Leadership Program in Fort Bend County
The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce’s, Fort Bend Leadership Forum (FBLF), is excited to announce we are accepting applicants for the Class of 2026. Our Title Sponsor for the Class of 2026 is Audi Sugar Land – A Sewell Company.
As the premier leadership development program in the region, FBLF was designed to prepare for the community needs that demand the involvement of informed citizens. The FBLF offers structured learning opportunities in an atmosphere that stimulates creative thinking and encourages participants to work together to utilize both new and proven tools to meet the challenges of today and to prepare for tomorrow. The class participants are selected each year from a wide spectrum of the area’s population.
FBLF is a dynamic, ten-month program, August through May starting off with a one and a half day opening retreat in San Antonio. The opening retreat is followed by monthly one-day sessions covering criminal justice, diversity, education, economic development/infrastructure, health and social services, municipal/county government, and a two-day trip to Austin for the state government session. In addition, the class visits Washington, D.C. for a special three-day national government session. The program is completed with a one and a half day ending retreat and graduation ceremony in Galveston.
The genuine personal and professional relationships you develop with your classmates will last a lifetime, and you will become a member of the 1,500+ esteemed alumni who have benefitted from this uniquely rewarding experience.
