The 2012 Leadership Denton class graduation project is to research and prepare a proposed business plan for a new off-site visitor information center, including a store for selling Denton-oriented merchandise and memorabilia.  The class will present their final report and specific findings at 4 p.m.  Thursday afternoon, April 12 at the Courtyard by Marriott.
 
With their graduation during the chamber membership luncheon on April 27, the total number of individuals to complete Leadership Denton will be 471. Included among these graduates are the present Mayor, Mark Burroughs, as well as his predecessor, Dr. Perry McNeill, plus, current City Council Member James king.
 
Initiated by the chamber in 1985, this program offers a series of comprehensive training sessions designed to help make interested Denton area citizens better aware of opportunities for community and philanthropic service, as well as all levels of public office.
 
Any individual who is a U.S. citizen, and of voting age, and, has resided within the boundaries of the Denton Independent School District for at least one year as of August 1, 2012, is eligible to apply for the next Leadership Denton class.  Applications should be available on the chamber web site by March 1. All qualified applicants may be subject to a personal interview; sessions will convene in August.
