Each year, LMR accepts a diverse group of community leaders into its flagship program, Leadership Quest. Through a ten-month program -- which includes formal community leadership training, access to high-impact decision-makers, and networking opportunities to name a few -- these individuals develop the necessary framework to make a positive and lasting impact in the greater Richmond Region.
Participants in the Leadership Quest program bring a wealth of experience, passion and know-how as they begin the shift from community members to leaders who are focused on creating sustainable change across the region. Using servant leadership principles and a focus on community engagement as its foundation, Leadership Quest uses a dynamic mix of intense retreats, expert presenters, and immersion teams.
