B.E.S.T. Leadership Program

B.E.S.T. Leadership Program

Founded in 2004 as means to cultivate community and business leaders in Bastrop County, the B.E.S.T. Leadership Program identifies and encourages current and potential leaders by acquainting them with local needs and building an understanding of how individual talents can work together to build a more successful community.  

Through eight expertly guided sessions over nine months, participants gain a comprehensive perspective on Bastrop County’s opportunities and challenges through unique insights into city, county and state level organizations, community service programs, and businesses.

Participants also receive training in the art of leadership itself, strengthening their ability to make a positive impact at home, at work, and in the public forum. 

Applications for the 2025-2026 will open in Summer 2025.
