Leadership Hillsboro

The Chamber’s long-standing civic immersion and leadership development program embarks on its 41st year!

Over the years, our dedication to cultivating community leaders has led to outstanding achievements and a robust network of distinguished alumni. We invite you to be part of this extraordinary journey as we embark on another year of fostering leadership excellence.

Hillsboro is a vibrant and diverse community, constantly evolving and presenting new challenges and opportunities for those who live and work in the Greater Hillsboro area. Maintaining the dynamism and well-being of our community requires insightful leaders with strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across diverse groups. Leadership Hillsboro is designed to nurture these essential qualities, providing a unique platform for individuals to engage with various community members and collectively address critical issues.

Our distinctive two-year program begins with an immersive all-day retreat in September, followed by eight monthly all-day sessions from October to May. The program culminates in a memorable graduation event and Community Service Day in June, where the cohort celebrates their achievements. In the second year, participants take on leadership roles by joining a Planning Team responsible for guiding the next cohort. Drawing on their experiences, Planning Team members collaborate with the Leadership Hillsboro Advisory Council and chamber staff to create a meaningful and impactful experience for incoming participants. This second year serves as a vital transition, shaping emerging leaders into influential community champions.
