  • Leadership North Texas Class 18 Application

    Applications close end of day Monday, May 18, 2026.
  • Leadership North Texas may have more applicants than can be accomodated. To assist the Selection Committee in giving all applicants full consideration, complete this application as accurately and as completely as possible.

    The Selection Committee is looking for applicants who:

    • Have demonstrated a concern for their community through active involvement.
    • Have a record of achievement in community/civic activities indicating past and future leadership activity and ability. (Membership in professional organizations that are not involved in community service does not have a major impact on selection. Membership in an organization whereby a fee is paid and no service is actually required has no impact.)
    • Have a commitment to North Texas and demonstrate their desire to remain in the region.
    • Possess high standards of personal quality and integrity.
    • Can and will commit the time required for the program.
    • If employed, have the endorsement of their employer or indication the employer does not object to their taking time off from work for Leadership North Texas activities.

    Leadership North Texas is a graduate-level program, therefore, candidates should demonstrate completion of a similar leadership program; or demonstrate comparable public service experience, or completed an internal leadership program provided by their employer.
     

    Please follow these guidelines:

    • Include a non-refundable application fee. The fee to apply is $50.(A link for the payment of the application fee is at the end of this form)
    • Don't be modest -- list all activities, offices, etc., where requested.
    • Two recommendations are required. Please forward the link to the recommendation form to each of your two endorsers. Please do not send more than two.

  • It is my understanding that LEADERSHIP NORTH TEXAS is a learning experience and requires attendance at its monthly meetings. The Welcome Reception will be held in August and will be announced with your acceptance. The two-day overnight Opening Retreat, which is mandatory, will be September 25-26, 2026, with subsequent meetings once a month beginning in October and continuing through the closing program day, which is also mandatory, on May 14, 2027. Any participant missing any part of either the Opening Retreat or more than fourteen (14) hours of the meetings will not graduate. Makeup days in the following program year will be subject to restrictions and a per program day fee.

  • The size and make up of each Leadership North Texas class is carefully considered to ensure that it is broad based, representing a variety of professional, economic, regional, social, and ethnic backgrounds. This means that many highly qualified applicants may not be accepted the first year they apply. We encourage you to re-apply should you not be accepted this year.

    All Leadership North Texas applicants are subject to a background check.

    The applications are due May 18, 2026. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.

    The 2026-2027 Leadership North Texas Class will be announced in June.

    If you have any questions, call or email Caitlyn Sartin at (469) 359-5337 or Caitlyn@ntc-dfw.org.
