The Leadership Edinburg steering committee is now taking applications for its XXXII Class.

The annual leadership program will continue to train emerging leaders virtually. It will also be implementing safety protocols during its session in accordance with local health and public official recommendations.

Since the program’s conception 30 years ago, 500 people have participated in the professional development and community learning program.

“This program is beneficial for emerging leaders as it gives them the opportunity to practice their leadership skills and brush up on different community topics that include history, education, healthcare, politics and quality of life,” said Ronnie Larralde, executive director of the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce.

The purpose of the nine-month program is to set a goal in which all class members willingly develop and complete a project that helps give back to the community,

“Former classes have built parks, painted educational murals, issued scholarships and erected marquees,” said Larralde. “Last year’s class is getting ready to break ground with the city of Edinburg on a sign that will make our city proud.”

Application deadline is Aug. 31.
