Leadership Forum

The Leadership Forum’s structure and diverse composition have and continue to create opportunities both for AccessHealth and for our employee participants. The intersection of education, networking, volunteerism and leadership pays dividends dually in operations and in external partnerships & collaborations. Our organization’s involvement in the Leadership Forum has been instrumental in creating awareness about all that we do here at AccessHealth. The experience is thought provoking and provides opportunity to collaborate with multiple industries and professionals.

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.

After relocating to Fort Bend County for work, I was encouraged by numerous graduates of the Leadership Forum to apply to the program. I can say without reservation that actively participating in the program was one of the best decisions I have ever made—both professionally and personally. Through participation in the Leadership Forum, I have been able to make meaningful business connections, as well as, life-long friends. Apply today, you will not regret it.

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.

Through the Leadership Forum, I had the opportunity to gain a unique insight into Fort Bend County and meet some amazing people along the way. I have built both personal and professional relationships through the program that I believe will last for years. I highly recommend the program to anyone who is new to Fort Bend County or a life-long resident, like myself. If you want to do more than just network, the Leadership Forum is the best choice in Fort Bend County. It is amazing what this program can do for you and your business.

The Fort Bend Chamber’s Leadership Forum allowed me to gain valuable insight into many different aspects of Fort Bend County. The relationships, networking opportunities and leadership skills I gained from the program were priceless and I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to enhance their careers.
