Giving Back Through Civic Service

Meet Leadership Frisco Class XXVIII Participants

Frisco Chamber of Commerce selected 26 community residents as Leadership Frisco Class XXVIII members, from within a large and competitive pool of applicants. The program year kicked off with a team-building session led by Human Dynamics, Inc., and a dinner featuring a fireside chat with Frisco City Manager Wes Pierson. Class participants then met at a ropes course for team-building exercises facilitated by “Leadership on the Move.”

The purpose of the Leadership Frisco program is to develop a pool of qualified, highly motivated individuals interested in expanding their leadership skills, deepening their sense of civic responsibility, and becoming more involved in the Frisco community. 

Baylor Scott & White is once again the presenting sponsor for the 2024-25 program year. "We recognize it takes a village to serve Frisco well," says Ryan Gebhart, SVP/president, Baylor Scott & White Health–Frisco Market.  

Leadership Frisco Class XXVIII participants will graduate in May 2025 after successful completion of the program.
