Sugar Land Leaders

What you'll experience:
- Get a behind-the-scenes look at city operations

- Is this like Sugar Land 101?
-
Great question! Sugar Land 101 evolved into this program which took the education component one step further to incorporate a leadership track that will give Fellows practical tools to use and apply the knowledge they’ll gain.
- But … can we still be friends after the program is over?
-
We’d love that! We will check in with you a couple times a year to see if/how you applied the information and skills you acquired during the program in the community. We’ll also have networking opportunities for the cohort!
