Leadership North Texas provides the necessary knowledge for making regional decisions and a network of thought leaders to collaborate with on the future of our region. 

Leadership North Texas may have more applicants than can be accepted. To assist the Selection Committee in giving all applicants the fairest consideration, complete this application as accurately and as completely as possible.

The Selection Committee is looking for applicants who:

  • Have demonstrated a concern for their community through active involvement.

  • Have a record of achievement in community/civic activities indicating past and future leadership activity and ability. (Membership in professional organizations that are not involved in community service does not have a major impact on selection. Membership in an organization whereby a fee is paid and no service is actually required has no impact.)

  • Have a commitment to North Texas and demonstrate their desire to remain in the region.

  • Possess high standards of personal quality and integrity.

  • Can and will commit the time required for the program.

  • If employed, have the endorsement of their employer or indication the employer does not object to their taking time off from work for Leadership North Texas activities.

Leadership North Texas is a graduate-level program, therefore, candidates should demonstrate completion of a similar leadership program; or demonstrate comparable public service experience.
 

Please follow these guidelines:

  • Include a non-refundable application fee. The fee to apply is $50. If applying by April 15, the early bird application fee is $25. Use the code "EarlyLNT16" when you check out. Apply early to save money! (A link for the payment of the application fee is at the end of this form)

  • Don't be modest -- list all activities, offices, etc., where requested.

  • Two recommendations are required. Please forward the link to the recommendation form to each of your two endorsers. Please do not send more than two.

All Leadership North Texas applicants are subject to a background check.

LNT Tuition cost is $3,000.

The applications are due May 20, 2024. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

The 2024-2025 Leadership North Texas Class will be announced in June.
