Leadership Franklin announced its twentieth class this past week for the 2015-2016 year.
Leadership Franklin was founded in 1996 to develop leaders in Franklin and Williamson County and their mission is to provide class members with knowledge, network connections, and resources to bring new ideas to the table for the Franklin community.
Each class day is focused on presenting and analyzing a particularly important segment of the city, including area history, government, business, law enforcement, media, education, and quality of life.
