Why Sponsor?
The Leadership Albany organization and its programs are fully funded by the generous sponsorships of local businesses and community leaders. Each program day, including transportation, meals, and class instruction, is made possible through these business sponsorships and the tuition paid by class members. Additionally, we offer tuition scholarships annually to support incoming class members who require financial assistance to participate in Leadership Albany.
We collaborate closely with our corporate sponsors to ensure that the training and experiences provided by Leadership Albany are valuable for class members. This commitment enhances the value of our graduates to their organizations and the broader community. Leadership Albany is dedicated to fostering diversity within our classes, demonstrating our commitment to bringing agents of change into every part of our community. We approach this mission with great responsibility, ensuring that the financial support and sponsorships we receive are honored with dedication and hope for our community's continuous improvement.
If your company or organization is interested in becoming a sponsor for Leadership Albany, please contact us.
