ABOUT LSA

LSA was created in 1975 by The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce to help identify and develop community leaders and is the premier program for existing and emerging leaders in the Bexar County and surrounding areas.

For 50 years, Leadership San Antonio has helped to shape the future leaders of San Antonio. Graduated nearly 2,000 participants, LSA highlights the promises and opportunities affecting San Antonio with the goal of encouraging leaders to serve on local boards and commissions, while advocating for the business community.

Leadership San Antonio, one of the first of its kind in Texas, exceeds personal and professional development. In 1992, The San Antonio Hispanic Chamber joined to be a co-host to the program, enhancing the involvement and diversity of future classes.

Through the LSA process, participants gain insight from present and future decision-makers in both the public and private sectors and are better prepared to lead San Antonio into the future by using their broader understanding of our diverse community.

LSA class participants are selected from all segments of the community and must have demonstrated leadership and held responsible positions in their chosen profession. LSA seeks people dedicated to serving their community and applicants must show a sincere commitment and desire to increase their level of service by assuming key leadership positions.

In its 50-year history, LSA’s primary goal remains the same – to help mold sensitive, responsible and committed leaders and ensure a prosperous future for San Antonio.
