North Lake Tahoe-Truckee Leadership Program Graduates 27 Fantastic Leaders

June 11, 2025

The North Lake Tahoe-Truckee Leadership Program has successfully completed its 20th year by graduating 27 strong, smart leaders.  

The Leadership Program creates an opportunity for potential leaders to broaden their understanding of the region and its issues, challenges, and opportunities; while honing and developing their leadership skills. Since 2004, the program has graduated more than 500 individuals.  

As part of the six-month program, participants worked on Action Plans designed to enhance some aspect of local community life. These Action Plans are intended to provide the framework to allow for real-world changes in the community. Through interviews, surveys, and research, teams developed a program rationale, a needs assessment, proposed budget, timeline, community collaborations, and promotional packet. The results of these projects were presented during the final day workshop.  

The Leadership Program is honored to be facilitated by long-term Director of Education,  Shannon Beets. Shannon brings extensive knowledge of Leadership topics and she also invites talented colleagues to enhance the program. 

Sponsors and location hosts of the 2025 Leadership Program included Rotary Club of Truckee, Sustainable Community Advocates, Town of Truckee, Truckee Tahoe Airport, Tahoe City PUD,  Town of Truckee, and Za’s Lakefront Restaurant. 

Scholarships were generously funded by the Rotary Club of Tahoe City, Kiwanis Club of North  Lake Tahoe, Soroptimist International of Truckee Donner, Theresa May Duggan of Duggan and  Duggan.
