Our History
Leadership Franklin was founded by the Franklin Business Leadership Council in 1996. The Franklin Business Leadership Council is comprised of business leadership in Franklin and Williamson County. This group of leaders saw a need for education in leadership for a diversity of races, religions and ages.
In addition, the Franklin Business Leadership Council sought to be inclusive of a cross-section of the leaders in Franklin – participants who represented both the public and private sectors. With careful education and modeling from other leadership programs in the southeast, Leadership Franklin was born.
Leadership Franklin is a non-profit community leadership organization now in its 15th year, serving the community and educating leaders in Franklin and Williamson County.
