Leadership Charlotte Class of 2025
Congratulations to the
Leadership Charlotte Class of 2024-2025

On June 20, the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center was filled with pride and celebration as the Leadership Charlotte Class of 2025 officially graduated.
This outstanding group of leaders experienced a transformative year—building connections, sharpening leadership skills, and leaving a legacy that will impact Charlotte County for years to come.
Through collaboration, creativity, and a shared passion for giving back, the class raised an impressive $68,774.59 during their fundraising efforts.
Proceeds will benefit the Children’s Enrichment Fund of Charlotte County, helping ensure local youth have access to extracurricular programs such as sports, music, and summer camps—opportunities that foster growth and inspiration beyond the classroom.
In addition, the class will be donating a commemorative bench to the Peace River Wildlife Center’s new Education Center, scheduled to open in May 2026, as a lasting tribute to their commitment to community.
Please join us in congratulating the Leadership Charlotte Class of 2025 for their incredible accomplishments and contributions!
