Dear LT Community:

Thank you to everyone who joined us June 18 at Victory Hall to celebrate Leadership Tomorrow's 40th Anniversary. The evening was truly spectacular, filled with new and old connections, lively music, and the wonderful spirit of our LT community. We are grateful to our corporate sponsors and individual donors who made the event possible.

During the celebration, we unveiled our ambitious vision: to more than double our alumni base from 2,780 to 6,000 by 2040. To achieve this, we will continue to invest in leaders through our Flagship Program and introduce new initiatives to expand our reach and increase our impact.

We look forward to partnering with you on this exciting journey to grow and strengthen our community!

In Gratitude,

Bindiya Patel, Executive Director
