Leadership Los Alamos marks 24 years, opens applications for 2026-2027 class
Applications are open for Leadership Los Alamos’ 2026-2027 class, with the deadline extended to July 31 as the civic pipeline turns 24.
Leadership Los Alamos has opened applications for its 2026-2027 class and extended the deadline to July 31, giving county residents and workers another chance to join a program that has been operating since 2003.
The organization marked 24 years on July 20, saying the program is designed to bring people together to learn, connect and find new ways to contribute to the community. Leadership Los Alamos says it aims to broaden participants’ understanding of Los Alamos, enhance leadership skills and build connections within the community, and it is open to people who live or work in Los Alamos County.
That role matters in a county where major institutions are closely linked. The laboratory, county government, schools, hospitals and local nonprofits all depend on people who know how the system works and who can move between sectors. Over 24 years, Leadership Los Alamos has become part of that local civic infrastructure, creating a network that connects public, private, nonprofit and educational leaders.
Images from prior cohorts show the program in action at the Bradbury Science Museum and outside The Family YMCA, suggesting that classes include site visits and direct exposure to local institutions rather than classroom-only instruction. That kind of access gives participants a working view of the places and organizations that shape daily life in Los Alamos.
The program’s recent record shows that it is still active year after year. Leadership Los Alamos documented classes and initiatives in 2024 and 2025, including a Class of 2026 kickoff and graduation, along with a community-service-related effort. Los Alamos County also completed a pilot of a new 21st Century Leadership development class in December 2024, underscoring that leadership training remains a recurring need in local government and civic life.
For people considering the next class, the current application deadline is July 31. With the deadline extended and the next cohort now recruiting, Leadership Los Alamos is once again looking for residents and workers who want a deeper understanding of how Los Alamos functions and who want to strengthen the relationships that keep the county moving.
