Leadership Connect is an initiative that fosters new and old Alumni connections and builds relationships across
diverse communities in Northeast Florida. These gatherings are for Leadership Jacksonville, New Leadership Summit, Next Generation, Youth Leadership Jacksonville Alumni, and Honorary members.
