Leadership Redding Leadership Redding is an educational program that introduces the class member to the people, places, and experiences of the Greater Redding Region.

Leadership Redding began in 1985 with the first class inaugurated in 1986. Today Leadership Redding is its own 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The program accepts approximately 30 participants per year. Ten sessions and a workshop are held September through June, facilitated by program alumni, in which a focus is placed on a specific part of the community. At these sessions, the participants learn directly from leaders in that area and have a chance to expand their knowledge about their community. Since its inception, over 1,000 participants have completed the program. Many of its graduates serve in key elected and civic leadership roles in our community. The list of graduates grows, as do the impressive credentials of the program.

Behind every great leadership program is a group of alumni who refuse to stop showing up.

This week, the 2026–2027 Leadership Redding Steering Committee gathered for our kickoff meeting and began planning for another incredible year of developing leaders, building connections, and strengthening our community.

A special thank you to Paul and the team at Shasta Land Trust for graciously hosting us and helping us start the year on the right foot.

Leadership Redding doesn’t end at graduation. Our alumni continue to invest their time, experience, and passion to help shape the future of the program—and ultimately, the future of our community.
