The applications for Class ###II are now closed. The Selection Committee meets August 22.
These Board members from the Upper, Middle and Lower Keys are set to review and evaluate the applicants, giving considerable time and energy to every person. Each year, leaders are selected on their merits, based on their organization, business, agency or community positions, with emphasis on their volunteerism and commitment to continuing their participation and civic engagement where opportunity exists, and their future goals, and also on ensuring representation from all regions of the county. LMC does not control who applies, only the final configuration of who is offered a position for the new class. EVERY class is unique and by year's end, strives to become the very BEST Class! We applaud every applicant for stepping up to the next level of leadership and a stronger community.

Class ###I Project
Class ###I – the “31 Fators” - has finalized their class project and they need your help! As a class, they have decided their class project will be to hold a raffle with the proceeds going both to the Monroe County Parks and Beaches: Keys Kids Swim Program and to Leadership Monroe County.

Keys Kids Swim is a water safety and swim lesson program that provides FREE swim lessons to Monroe County students in kindergarten. You already know the great value of LMC. Based on their experiences so far this year, the 31 Fators have decided both of these causes are important to them and their fundraising efforts.

They are only offering 250 tickets at $100 each for a Grand Prize of $10,000 – these are great odds and your purchase will go to support these two great local programs.
Second Place is $1,000 and Third Place is $500.

Raffle prizes will be drawn at the April 27, 2024 Class ###I Graduation.
