Leadership Terrebonne Alumni Association is a group of Community Leaders in Terrebonne Parish and surrounding areas who have graduated from the information intensive LT program. Since 1992, Leadership Terrebonne has served as a "community leadership incubator,” providing a comprehensive, interactive program for current and future leaders to prepare for volunteer and public service. Today, as many
as 30 community residents per year, from all walks of life, participate in the 10-month program, considered by many as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to understand the issues, opportunities and challenges facing Terrebonne Parish. Led by a professional facilitator, participants learn about featured topics directly from local experts and policy-makers during day-long sessions conducted each month. These topics include local government, education, economic development, coastal protection and restoration, health care, criminal justice and law enforcement, and the diversity of our parish population. Informative field trips to area schools, the parish prison and local hospitals are also included. Each program year begins in January with an opening retreat and culminates with a closing retreat and graduation in October.
