🎓✨ Congratulations to the Leadership Lake County Class of 2026 and Our Hall of Fame Honorees! ✨🎓
What an incredible evening celebrating leadership, service, and community impact!
Congratulations to the 29 graduates of the Leadership Lake County Class of 2026. Throughout the past year, you have dedicated your time to learning about the people, organizations, and issues that shape Lake County. Your commitment to personal growth, civic engagement, and community leadership will help make Lake County stronger for years to come. Thank you to Orlando Health- Southlake, USB, Mark Jordan and Erika Giles for sponsoring the evening. And thank you to the Education Foundation of Lake and Sumter Counties for the decorations. Without our volunteers helping the evening would not have happened. Gourmet Today your dinner, drinks and service were impeccable.
We also extend our heartfelt congratulations to our 2026 Hall of Fame recipients, Dr. Laurie Newkirk and Carman Cullen-Batt. Your dedication, leadership, and lasting contributions to our community exemplify the values that Leadership Lake County strives to inspire in every class.
Thank you to our sponsors, alumni, Board of Regents, class members, families, and community partners who make this program possible.
Here's to the Class of 2026—may you continue to lead, serve, and make a difference throughout Lake County and beyond!
