"The Leadership Class was informative & interesting. We began by learning about our own personality traits & how helpful this knowledge can be as we interact with others. We were also given the opportunity to meet leaders in our community as well as surrounding areas. These encounters allowed us to experience leadership qualities in others, & hopefully allow us to develop these qualities in ourselves." - Sherry Garrison, City of Deer Park - Council Member

"I enjoyed the company and the fellowship of the class. I enjoyed networking with members of the community while learning about the parts that contribute to the City’s success. I have been involved in the community for over 23 years and never expected to learn as much as I did." - Frank Hart, Deer Park Police Department - Assistant Chief of Police 

"Leadership DP was a wonderful professional leadership experience for me. We were educated on economic, social, & governmental powers that shape our community. It really helped me with personal growth & excited me to take part in civic leadership roles. I really loved the trip to Austin & the chance to listen in on discussions at the Capitol. I've never experienced anything like that before & it was transformational." - Scott Gernander, San Jacinto College - Dean of Administration
