Leadership Brownsville, Inc., is one of more than 500 leadership development programs throughout the country.

Leadership Brownsville is an organization whose purpose is to identify and motivate emerging leaders each year and to develop their potential for community leadership by exposing them to the realities, opportunities and challenges of the community. It is an organization steeped in a rich history with a longstanding, strategic desire to impact our community in a lasting and significant way. Leadership Brownsville provides potential leaders the knowledge to effectively participate in community affairs, to learn the history and demography of our community, to understand its financial and political difficulties and promises, and to become a part of the solution rather than a part of the problem.

Leadership Brownsville Class XLII 🔵🔴
Session 1: HISTORIC BROWNSVILLE

To paraphrase our downtown tour guide, Gilbert Hernandez (LB Class ###V) : Brownsville has such a remarkable breadth of history, making it the most historic city in Texas in terms of diversity & scale of events! 🦉🤓

Nothing beats a stroll through the Old City Cemetery and Historic Downtown Brownsville in 100+ degree weather to kick things off, right?! 🤩☀️🕶️ Thank you so much to our guides, presenters, hosts, and moderators who helped kick off this year’s program! 🥳
