Leadership Cleburne
Leadership Cleburne is a unique program hosted by the Cleburne Chamber. It is a nine-month (Sept.-May) class that gives participants a better perspective into the different businesses and organizations that make up the Cleburne community. The group meets on the second Wednesday of the month within business hours, 8am-5pm. There is one exception to that time frame on State Day in March because it involves a one-day trip to Austin. Session topics include; city, county, and state government, healthcare, education, economic development, and quality of life.
Applications for the 2025-2026 Leadership Cleburne class will start accepting applications June 30th, 2025 by the Cleburne Chamber of Commerce.
