Leadership Perimeter honored the 34 graduates of the adult Leadership Perimeter Class of 2023 at a graduation ceremony on May 11 at Temple Sinai.
The graduates completed an immersive nine-month community leadership development program, according to a press release.
“We are so proud of this great class and their enthusiasm to be more civically engaged leaders. This is the supportive culture we’ve set out to create within our communities and we’re excited to see their impact,” Executive Director Rosalyn Putnam said in the release.
Youth Leadership Sandy Springs (YLSS), a program of Leadership Perimeter begun in 2011, celebrated the graduation of 39 students from 10 area high schools at the program’s closing retreat and ceremony in March.
“We are thrilled to recognize our students who completed our seven-month experiential program designed to cultivate their leadership skills and see first-hand how government, environmental groups, social service agencies, public safety, and businesses come together to shape a community,” YLSS Program Director Lori Peljovich said.
