Being in the Leadership Forum program of the Chamber was one of the best decisions I ever made not only for my business, but personally.  It allowed me to learn more about the County and how things are done, but also connected me with officials and representatives state and nationwide. Personally, being around the same 55 people every session, I made some great friends that I can call on whenever I need something, and vice versa.

Nona Austin-King, Class of 2013

The Himalaya Drug Company

At the time when I applied to the Fort Bend Leadership program, I had been living in the Houston area for 6-1/2 years. My life was about being a mother to my 2 young kids, being a wife, and working full-time. In fact, I really didn't feel like Houston was 'home', because I had not really established relationships outside of work associates and family. By entering the program, I hoped to identify opportunities to serve the community that aligned with my passions and could develop me personally. I quickly realized that my participation in Leadership not only exposed me to opportunities to serve the community, but also gave me a sense of belongingness and sense of pride because I've built meaningful relationships in the process. Because of my Leadership experience, my roots are now firmly planted in Fort Bend. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking to grow personally and professionally.
