T. Boone Pickens Leadership Institute

The T. Boone Pickens Leadership Institute is a program designed to provide training to our members on identifying and building strengths, enhancing leadership skills, developing relationships to help prepare members for leadership service within the Dallas community.
Established in 2008 with a generous gift from the T. Boone Pickens Foundation, the program serves to grow the leadership skills of a selected annual class of our members through their participation in a 10-month development and strengths training course. Today, 358 members have participated in the Leadership Institute and have taken what they have learned to advance their careers, lead for- and nonprofit boards and serve in elected and civic held positions. Graduates of the program leave motivated to impact the Dallas community and equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to bring positive and effective change.
