"As a graduate of the program, I value that LWR has provided me with a network of ‘do-ers’ who are taking on leadership roles in our community. I look forward to this next chapter of partnerships to both further engage our cohort and alumni in key learnings, visionary speaker series, continued education, collaborations and leadership opportunities in our community. LWR has the chance to collaborate with other organizations and key stakeholders to make a difference to our fellow citizens.”

" Being a part of the Leadership Waterloo Region team means that I am fortunate to meet some amazing community builders, share their stories and inspire others to follow in their path.

It means getting in on the ground floor of building the future leadership of our community and being grateful to have even a small part of making Waterloo Region the best place to live, work, play and raise a family."

"I'm continually impressed by the ambition and capacity of the network of Leadership Waterloo Region's students. If you do something in Waterloo, it's very likely you'll work alongside LWR alumni, which is why I'm so grateful to get the chance to teach the innovation lab on affordable housing."

"Being a part of the Leadership Waterloo Region team, I appreciate the true community connection the organization has and I always look forward to meeting the current and future leaders of our community."
