“In less than 12 months, Leadership Birmingham offers the opportunity to get to know Birmingham in such a way that would otherwise take years. Not only do you get the chance to learn alongside talented and accomplished community and business leaders, but the experience itself provides a greater depth of understanding about the city. Not being from Birmingham originally, I have found it very useful to understand the history of the city in a richer way, and I have taken these learnings back to my role at Protective as I work around the state representing our 116-year-old Birmingham-based company.”
