Two local leaders will participate in the Class VII of the Alabama Leadership Initiative for 2024-2025.

PowerSouth Vice President of Member Services and Communications Matthew Diamond and LBW Community College President Dr. Brock Kelley were both named to the class.

Leadership Alabama is a program of Alabama leaders engaged in creating a network for positive change. The program, originally introduced in 1995, is for emerging leaders and complements Leadership Alabama’s existing leadership networks and programs.

The Leadership Alabama Board of Directors expanded the ALI program in 2017 to a six-month program comprised of three two-day sessions to offer young professionals the opportunity to develop personal leadership skills and establish ongoing relationships with other leaders across the state.

During the upcoming program year, which launches Nov. 6, members will meet in Montgomery, Auburn, and Birmingham, led by Leadership Alabama’s new ALI Director Lydia Barnett.

The program has three goals: education, connections, and personal development. Upon graduation, class participants are not only better equipped to contribute to Alabama’s forward movement, but also play a significant role in shaping the future of the state.
