Today, we\u2019re talking about the people, projects, and purpose behind Scottsdale Leadership \u2014 and why it continues to shape our city in such a meaningful way. Scottsdale Leadership has been developing and connecting leaders in our city for nearly four decades \u2014 and chances are, if you\u2019re involved in the community, you\u2019ve felt its impact in one way or another.  From nonprofit boards and city commissions to business leadership and civic engagement, Scottsdale Leadership helps people better understand the city they live and work in and how they can play a role in shaping its future. Today, I\u2019m joined by Lee Ann Witt, the Executive Director of Scottsdale Leadership.  I\u2019m especially excited for this conversation because I\u2019m a graduate of Class 39 and currently serve on the Board of Directors as the Class 39 representative \u2014 so this program is very close to my heart.  Lee Ann and I are going to talk about what Scottsdale Leadership really is, how it benefits the city, and why it continues to be such a transformational experience for so many people.
