Leadership San Antonio

Leadership San Antonio (LSA) is a jointly sponsored program of The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and The San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. It provides a learning experience for existing and emerging leaders who live and work in the San Antonio metropolitan area. Participants of the program are given the opportunity to develop an understanding of the promises and challenges facing our community.

LSA seeks people dedicated to serving their community. Applicants must show a sincere commitment, be motivated and interested in the community, and have the desire to increase their service to our community in key leadership positions. Over thirty years after its formation, LSA's primary goal continues to focus on a strong commitment to community service. The continuing growth of San Antonio will challenge the 2009 class of LSA to produce sensitive, responsible, and committed leaders.

Have lived in the San Antonio area and currently work in Bexar County for at least 12 months.
Be a high school graduate.
Be a registered voter, if a U.S. Citizen.

Persons related by marriage cannot apply for the same class year.
Cost: A $35 non-refundable application-processing fee is due with each appliation. Tuition in the amount of $1,400 is due prior to the start of the program for those chosen.
