The make-up of the Leadership Sulphur Springs Class is carefully considered to ensure that it is broad-based, representing a variety of professional, economic, social, and ethnic backgrounds. This means that many highly qualified applicants may not be placed in the first year. We encourage you to re-apply should you not be accepted this year. The Selection Committee considers sustained interest in making its recommendations.
The cost per participant is $500.
The fee will not be refunded if you are unable to complete the class for any reason.
