Greater Tucson Leadership

Leadership for a Stronger Southern Arizona

GTL is a nonpartisan civic leadership development program whose mission is to inspire, promote and develop leadership in the Greater Tucson Region. GTL offers robust classroom and field education experiences for community-minded individuals from business, government, nonprofit and community organizations who seek to expand and enhance their leadership skills and improve our Southern Arizona community. GTL graduates emerge from the program with practical, in-depth understanding of major community issues and impassioned about solving them.

• Government
• Border   
• Healthcare
• Environment  
• Arts and culture                 
• Economic Development
• Criminal justice
• Education  
• Media
