The Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance is thrilled to formally announce the Youth Leadership for Five Seasons (LFS) Class of 2027!

Each year, 35 students from 8 metro-area high schools are selected to step outside the classroom one Wednesday a month during their junior year to explore careers, connect with peers, and hear from local leaders while learning about the history, industries, and challenges of our region.
Huge thanks to the school counselors who support this program and to our sponsors: Hills Bank (Presenting Sponsor), Collins Aerospace (Supporting Sponsor) and Big Grove Brewery (Catering Sponsor).

Leadership for Five Seasons (LFS) is proud to introduce its 44th Adult class — the Class of 2027! 🎓

This year’s cohort brings together 35 leaders from businesses and industries across the Cedar Rapids metro, selected through a competitive process including an application, letters of recommendation, and interviews with LFS alumni. Since the program launched in 1983, more than 1,400 professionals have completed LFS, gaining skills and connections that strengthen both their careers and our community.

The Adult LFS program is a 10-month experience running August through May, with participants spending one Friday each month outside of work in customized leadership training and traveling throughout the city to explore key aspects of our region. Directed by the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance, LFS empowers emerging leaders to better understand community challenges and opportunities and to play a more active role in shaping our future.

Help us congratulate the Class of 2027 and welcome them into this long-standing Cedar Rapids leadership tradition! https://bit.ly/4lkJMiX
