Leadership Middle Tennessee welcomes 39 to its alumni base. Here's who they are

Leadership Middle Tennessee's 2022 class joined an extensive network of alumni earlier this month, leaving the door open for new candidates in August.

The organization, based in Hendersonville, selects applicants annually from Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Maury, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson counties. Together, the class tours the 10 counties to learn about workforce development, transportation and education in the region.

The 11-month course begins in August with a retreat and continues with monthly meetings. This year, the 2022 class graduated from the program on June 14 with a ceremony at the Adventure Science Center.

Members of the 2023 class will be announced in August.
