Requirements: Applicants must be at least 21 years of age and are required to either reside or work in Angelina County. Tuition for the program is $975, which covers costs of some meals and transportation, training materials and speakers.

The Program: Leadership Lufkin is a nine-month program designed to identify and educate the existing and potential leaders of Lufkin and Angelina County. It consists of day-long sessions targeted at orienting the class to particular aspects of the community, such as the health care, social services, local/county/state government, education, economic development, and quality of life in Angelina County. The program also includes classroom-style leadership skills training.

The program requires participation in a two-day opening retreat with a ropes course, a two-day or three-day stay in Austin to study state government, and two-day participation at the annual Angelina County Science & Tech Fair. The class is also required to attend a City Council Meeting, an Angelina County school board meeting, a County Commissioner's meeting, and a Lufkin Police Department Ride-Along. The program, which is strongly supported by the community, allows class members to become acquainted with volunteer opportunities and needs in their Chamber and in their community.
