Leadership Wichita Falls (LWF) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to recruit, educate and develop individuals for civic leadership while providing a foundation and ongoing opportunities for community involvement.  This is accomplished by providing community orientation and a leadership training program.  

One of over 700 leadership programs throughout the country, Leadership Wichita Falls shares a common belief.  The single most important ingredient in building a successful community is an investment in leadership.  Over 1,200 community members have participated in the program since the inaugural class of 1979.

As a team, each class creates a project, fundraiser or event to benefit local nonprofit organizations and/or the community.  Some of the past class projects have been Hotter’N Hell Hundred, Mane Event, THOR, 47 Miles – a history of the 1979 tornado, just to name a few.
