Congratulations to all the Mesa Leadership Class of 2026 Graduates for this incredible accomplishment and for all the hard work. This was no easy task, but you rose to the challenge and made it!

Last night, Mesa Leadership celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2026—the program’s 45th class.

The evening’s keynote speaker was AZ Industrial Commissioner and former Mesa City Councilmember Dennis Kavanaugh, a graduate of Mesa Leadership’s Class of 1985. Their class motto was “Often in error, but never in doubt.” He encouraged the Mesa Leadership grads to serve on boards such as the City’s Advisory Boards and the boards of nonprofits in the City of Mesa saying that this is where change and new laws come from, and the city needs civic leaders to help them accomplish these goals.

Class Rep Mary Teresa Marshall gave a baseball-inspired speech about the year, culminating in the class project, which was to build a courtyard for the new Arizona Baseball Museum.

Thank you to everyone who was able to join us in celebrating this special evening!
