Target Leadership Competencies

Anyone in the Puget Sound community can apply to Leadership Tomorrow. Some financial assistance is available for individuals who are self-employed, unemployed, or employed by the non-profit or public sector, and would otherwise be unable to participate. Past classes have included for-profit business professionals and community volunteers as well as non-profit leaders, as well as government staff and officials. If you know of a candidate that you think would be a valued participant, please refer them to the program. If you'd like to apply, we invite you to fill out an application. You do not need to be nominated to apply.

Corporate Internal Processes

Some corporations have an internal application process for selecting applicants from their organizations. They include, but are not limited to The Boeing Company, Puget Sound Energy, Bank of America, Key Bank, K/L Gates, Perkins Coie and Virginia Mason. If you work for any of these companies please check with your employer before submitting an application.

Selection Process

Each Leadership Tomorrow class is selected through a competitive process conducted by a screening and selection committee. Approximately 72 individuals are chosen each year based on strong criteria including: a commitment to civic involvement and to the Puget Sound region, the potential for community leadership, and an individual's professional as well as personal achievement. Because diversity is an important goal, other factors affecting the final make-up of the class, including age, ethnicity, gender, geographic location, and employment sector, may be considered. Candidates must have their employer's permission in order to be considered.
