Executive Program

Members of the Executive program watch a tour guide in the Lincoln Capitol

Senior executives, both new to town and long-time residents, gain a deeper understanding of the issues facing Lincoln and at the same time make connections across all levels and types of organizations that make up our city.

We’ve found that executives in our city are already service-oriented, so one of the key things they gain from Leadership Lincoln is a chance to connect across a wide variety of companies, organizations, and public agencies. It’s through these connections our alumni have woven the fabric of Lincoln.

Participants explore leadership skills, group dynamics and community development issues and learn about the various organizations, educational institutions, governmental entities and businesses in Lincoln. Those in the Executive program are invited to participate with their spouse, partner, or significant other.
