Leadership is a nationwide program born out of the late 1960s. In 1987, the Chamber of Commerce Foundation of Huntsville/Madison County created Leadership 2000, whose purpose was to develop current and future leaders in the community. In the 1990s, a board of directors was established, and by the mid-1990s the first part-time director and dedicated staff was hired. Today, Leadership’s five unique programs are led by President and CEO Lyndsay Ferguson along with the support of five staff members. Their vision is clear:

An inclusive community of enlightened and engaged servant leaders.
