Leadership St. Pete (LSP) seeks to identify, recruit and develop leaders who represent the diversity of our local community. Each year, we select a diverse array of individuals spanning various industries and career stages to embark on an immersive six-month journey.
This year marks a momentous milestone for LSP, as the program celebrates its 55th anniversary. Established in 1970, LSP is one of the oldest leadership programs of its kind in the nation, fostering the growth and development of community leaders dedicated to making a meaningful impact in St. Petersburg and beyond. For over five decades, LSP has empowered hundreds of graduates, cultivating a legacy of leadership that continues to shape the region.
As we commemorate this extraordinary anniversary, we’re thrilled to introduce the Leadership St. Pete Class of 2025—a dynamic cohort of exceptional individuals ready to carry forward LSP’s tradition of excellence and help shape the future of our vibrant region.
