Leadership Columbus

Community Trusteeship Day wouldn’t be possible without community leaders willing to share their journeys with our Signature Program participants. Thank you to these leaders for taking the time to inspire and invest in the Class of 2026.

Leadership Columbus alumni were earlier this month at the HerStory Makers event hosted by The Columbus Urban League, celebrating women who are redefining leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship across Central Ohio.

The event honored women at every stage of their careers while supporting CUL programs like IncubateHER and AccelerateHER, which equip Black women entrepreneurs with the tools, access to capital, and networks needed to thrive.

The evening highlighted the Columbus Urban League’s vision for a region where everyone is supported, empowered to reach their full potential, and able to contribute to the greater good.

Cheers to 3 years!

SP ’23 reunited last night to reconnect, share stories, and celebrate how far they’ve come since their Leadership Columbus experience.

Friday morning, the Leadership Columbus alumni community showed out to support Jennifer Lehe (SP ’19) at this month’s CreativeMornings Columbus gathering!

Jennifer invited the audience into a playful, participatory experience, leading a group performance of Simon & Garfunkel’s “I Am a Rock” and encouraging all of us to reflect on the role creativity, curiosity, and play can have in our everyday lives.

CreativeMornings Columbus brings people together each third Friday of the month for breakfast, connection, and inspiring conversations, and this month’s event was a beautiful reminder that creativity is often best experienced in community.
