Hamilton County Leadership Academy to welcome 35 community-minded people into Class of 2023

The Hamilton County Leadership Academy (HCLA) has selected 35 individuals who live or work in the county to take part in its 10-month community leadership program.

HCLA welcomes the Class of 2023 into the folds of the organization’s more than 30-year legacy.

“We know each participant will invest in our values of learn, connect, and lead to help define their unique impact on Hamilton County,” HCLA Executive Director Diana Coyle said. “The class experience will allow our cohort time to take a deep dive into the operations and networks where they live, work, and play and expand their confidence and competency as leaders across the county and state.”

Each year, HCLA selects participants through a highly competitive application process. Class members are selected based on their community engagement, desire to learn and grow through the HCLA program, and passion for making an impact through leading and serving in Hamilton County.

Earlier this year, HCLA announced that Karen Radcliff would serve HCLA as the Class of 2023 Dean.

HCLA will kick off its Class of 2023 cohort experience in mid-August with a two-day opening retreat.
