The Leadership Frisco Advisory Council has announced the participants for the 18th Leadership Frisco class.

The nine-month leadership program, sponsored by the Frisco Chamber of Commerce, starts in September and includes one full day each month spent exploring Frisco's government, educational system, economic development, service organizations, regional issues, leisure and culture and public safety.

Participants also learn about and practice skills critical to working with volunteers and groups in the community and their businesses.

Class members will select and complete a class program that benefits Frisco throughout their year.
