The Leadership Hamilton Alumni Association (LHAA) is comprised of the graduates from the Leadership Hamilton program of the Greater Hamilton Chamber of Commerce.  Since 1991, the Chamber has been educating business people and community members about issues as: economic development, education, city government, criminal justice, health care and social services. After graduation, these participants join the LHAA in order take advantage of further leadership development as well as to continue to expand their involvement in the community.

LHAA Vision: Combining passion and leadership for a better community.
LHAA Mission: Creating leadership opportunities to expand community vision and development.

LHAA is an active organization working to make a real difference in our community. Over the years, we have made much progress and accomplished a great deal including: 

• Served as the lead organization in the inaugural leadership speaker series that brought General F. Norman Schwarzkopf to the area.
• Sponsored a leadership training program at the Fitton Center featuring Eric Ellis.
• Participated in a Board retreat resulting in new mission and vision statements, as well as a stronger plan for the organization.
• Revised our logo and Association guidelines, creating a new look and clarifying our organization.

Sponsored the sale of holiday cards, featuring scenes of Hamilton, Ohio. This program served as a fundraiser allowing us to donate $1,000 to the American Cape Alexander Hamilton Sculpture in downtown Hamilton.

The Leadership Hamilton Alumni Association is currently working on projects for the upcoming year. We are planning a new program, Leadership Works, designed to bring together and provide training for Leadership Alumni and non-profit agencies in need of quality board members. We were also involved with the planning for the second Leadership Speaker Program and are exploring the creation of a new CEO Roundtable.
