FREDERICKSBURG – The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the Leadership Fredericksburg Class of 2026 fellows.
The class meets monthly from September 2025 through May 2026, gathering at businesses and organizations across the Fredericksburg region. Throughout the program, participants will sharpen their leadership skills, connect with influential community leaders, and work in teams to complete a capstone Action Learning Project that addresses a real need in the region.
Each Fellow is paired with a trained mentor who offers one-on-one support and guidance. Leadership Fredericksburg is led by a faculty of seasoned business and community leaders who bring real-world expertise and a deep passion for developing others.
Through engaging sessions, two personal assessments (RightPath and LMAP 360), individual coaching sessions and more, participants gain the tools and connections to grow both personally and professionally—while making a lasting impact on the region. The program concludes with a graduation celebration in May 2026.
