What Leadership Golden graduates are saying…

  • Leadership Golden showed me the heart of the Golden Community, teaching me the nuances of governance and introducing me to some of the most passionate and committed members of our community that I have ever met.

  • An amazing program that reinstalls the reasons why you lie in the great small town of Golden. Meet incredible people along the way as well.

  • Being new to the community, the Leadership Golden experience opened my eyes to the city’s components, its function and operation. In LG you meet the various organizations and leaders who help make our city thrive. You know where to go and who to talk to when issues arise. But the best part is you come to know and respect so many community members!

  • You gain concrete connections. Connections to leadership, to Golden governmental entities, to the challenges in our community, to our history, and to each other as a leadership class.

  • An excellent resource to learn about Golden’s amazing, seamless infrastructure.

  • I loved the Leadership Golden experience. I was able to get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of Golden government. After this experience I was offered a Board Position on the Golden Civic Foundation Board. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to be more involved in our town.

  • Meet cool and interesting people from your community. Discover ways to make a difference where you live.
