Attention @leadershipdekalb alumni - We Need You! As part of our strategic planning process, we’re inviting alumni to share their perspectives on their experience, the future of DeKalb County, and the role Leadership DeKalb can play in shaping it. Your insights will help inform priorities around programming, alumni engagement, and community impact over the next several years. The survey takes approximately 5–7 minutes to complete. Link to copy in first comment! As a thank-you, alumni who choose to include their name at the end of the survey will be entered into a drawing for a free ticket to the 2026 Leadership DeKalb Annual Dinner.
