The 24 members were selected from the largest and most competitive pool of applicants in the 21-year history of the program. Leadership Frisco is a nine-month community leadership program sponsored by the Frisco Chamber of Commerce. The purpose is to develop a pool of qualified, highly motivated individuals who are interested in expanding their leadership skills, deepening their sense of civic responsibility, and becoming more involved in the community as a whole. Leadership Frisco Class XXI held a kick-off meeting on Friday, September 8, 2017 at Crest Infiniti followed by a dinner. Saturday, September 10, was a team-building day for this new class, which included a ropes course. “Class XXI had a fantastic start to the year; team-building, learning leadership styles of classmates, and successfully completing a challenge set forth by past graduates and leaders of the community,” said Julie Stallcup, Leadership Frisco Committee Chair.
