The 34th class of Leadership San Antonio, the premier program for emerging and existing leaders in Bexar County, officially began Thursday with a Welcome Reception sponsored by Zachry Holdings, Inc. The class was welcomed by Greater Chamber President Richard Perez and Chamber Chairman Jim Goudge, along with Hispanic Chamber COO Aaron
Seaman. “The Chambers created the Leadership San Antonio program to find the best leaders and develop their talents for the good of San Antonio,” President Perez said. “You are the cream of the crop, and your leadership in this city will only grow as you complete this class.”
The class continued Friday with an Opening Retreat at the Flying L in Bandera, Texas. Hispanic Chamber President Ramiro Cavazos welcomed the class and emphasized the importance of the retreat. Facilitator Clint Swindall (Verbalocity, Inc.) led the group through the retreat, which introduced the class
