Leadership Perimeter Announces Class of 2025

Class of 2025 “Embark”ed on Their Year at Alumni Extravaganza

Leadership Perimeter (LP), serving the Brookhaven, Dunwoody and Sandy Springs communities as the premier organization in developing and inspiring leaders to serve their communities for a lifetime, recently launched its 2025 class at its annual Embark gathering for new class members and alumni.

Comprised of a diverse group of 44 experienced and emerging leaders, the class launched their nine-month community leadership development program at the recent gathering, which will be followed with a retreat at Unicoi State Park in Helen, Ga.

“The class is made up of dynamic and engaged community members and we’re thrilled for them to fully launch their experience with the opening retreat. Year after year each class shares how it brings them together and ignites how they’re eager to embrace the year’s programming and as a group. Over just a few days, connections are developed, and members discover how to identify individual strengths and leadership styles,” shares LP Program Director, Catherine Lautenbacher, a 2011 graduate of the program.

Over the course of the program, monthly program days and special events are held to inform class members about communities within the Perimeter, enrich their civic comprehension and engagement, connect with leaders across many sectors, further develop leadership skills and encourage further community involvement.

“Leadership Perimeter demonstrates how communities and their leaders can collaborate to enhance their cities as well as those around them. This program enhances leadership skills while also fostering the importance of community and working together” stated Rosalyn Putnam, the nonprofit’s Executive Director. “The program prides itself on its cornerstone that community doesn’t just happen, but that we (Leadership Perimeter) help create it. Throughout the region more than 800 alumni are part of the growth of these thriving communities, utilizing skills, knowledge and relationships that they’ve developed through the program. Whether leading nonprofits, large and small businesses, and organizations or serving on boards, city councils and commissions, or as volunteers, they’re making incredible contributions and encouraging others to become more engaged community members as well. We’re thrilled to see the launch of another year of dynamic programming and inspired leaders.”
