The McKinney Chamber is proud to announce the selection of the Leadership McKinney Class of 2027.
Each year, Leadership McKinney brings together a diverse group of professionals who are committed to strengthening our community through informed leadership, civic engagement, and meaningful relationships. Participants represent a broad cross-section of industries including business, healthcare, education, government, nonprofit organizations, engineering, finance, and entrepreneurship—all united by a shared desire to make a lasting impact in McKinney.
Throughout the nine-month program, class members will explore the issues, opportunities, and organizations that shape our community. Through immersive class days, conversations with local leaders, behind-the-scenes experiences, and collaborative learning, participants will gain a deeper understanding of McKinney while building lifelong connections with one another.
“Leadership McKinney continues to be one of the Chamber’s most impactful programs because it develops leaders who don’t just work in McKinney—they invest in its future,” said Lisa Hermes, President & CEO of the McKinney Chamber. “Each class brings together individuals with unique perspectives and experiences, and we’re excited to see how this group will grow, collaborate, and serve our community.”

Leadership McKinney has graduated hundreds of community leaders since its inception, many of whom now serve on nonprofit boards, civic commissions, elected bodies, and executive leadership teams throughout McKinney. The program continues to cultivate informed, engaged leaders who understand the importance of collaboration and service in building a stronger community.
The Leadership McKinney Class of 2027 will officially begin their journey at Orientation in late July, taking the first step in a year dedicated to leadership development, civic engagement, and community impact. The McKinney Chamber extends its sincere appreciation to The Body Shop Collision Repair for their continued sponsorship of Orientation, a partnership that has helped welcome new Leadership McKinney classes for many years.
Congratulations to the Leadership McKinney Class of 2027! The McKinney Chamber looks forward to watching these outstanding leaders grow together and help shape the future of our community.
