Leadership Middle Tennessee (LMT), a regional leadership program, was founded to engage community and business leaders in the ten county region of middle Tennessee to focus on regional issues. Participating counties for LMT are Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Maury, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson and Wilson Counties. Selected class members will participate in 10 one-and-a-half-day sessions during the 2011-2012 year.

Visit www.leadmt.org to obtain an application form. To be eligible for consideration into the program, applications and two letters of reference must be received in the Leadership Middle Tennessee office no later than Friday, May 27.

One class of 2932 members is selected each year; this year’s class begins Sept. 15 and concludes in May 2012. Selection is based on leadership achievements and potential to contribute to the economic and cultural development of the middle Tennessee region. At least two participants will be selected from each of the ten counties involved. Participants will be chosen from a variety of occupations and levels of community and regional involvement.

LMT was founded in 1999, as an initiative of Partnership 2000, to contribute to future planned and sustainable economic and community growth and development in the 10-county area through the participation of community, nonprofit, government and business leaders. 

Leadership Middle Tennessee is overseen by a regional board comprised of the Leadership Middle Tennessee alums, business, and community leaders.

Leadership Middle Tennessee operates through the Jennings A. Jones College of Business at MTSU. Jack Turner, president of Jack B. Turner & Associates, Inc. is chairman of the board; Susan Turner Taylor is executive director of the program.
