PENSACOLA, Fla. – July 24, 2017 – The Pensacola Chamber Foundation announced today the Leadership Pensacola (LeaP) Class of 2018. Participants were carefully selected for their professional achievements, commitment to the Northwest Florida community, and leadership skills and potential.
 
Founded in the fall of 1982, LeaP is a 10-month-long program designed to help participants acquire an understanding of the issues facing the Greater Pensacola area and the leadership skills necessary to resolve them. To date, more than 1,500 individuals have completed the Leadership Pensacola program and have acquired the skills, passion and connections to work effectively as community trustees.
