"The GDAACC Leadership Tomorrow Program 2004 was a great learning experience. The program gave me a chance to interact with various Presidents, CEO's and executives from top companies such as Verizon, American Airlines, City of Dallas etc in the DFW area. The program truly inspired me and helped me build on my leadership skills. "

"After the first class....I could hardly wait for the next. Even boring topics like government and politics were very interesting. It was a rewarding experience to get to meet prominent leaders from our community and to know they took time out of their busy schedules to teach and help develop young leaders like us. As one of the graduates of the Alpha class, I had the opportunity to help plan and organize the Beta class. It was a pleasure to witness the success of the 2005 class and its wonderful to see some graduates already participating in community activities."

"I was a fortunate enough to join the 2005 Leadership Tomorrow program (Class Beta). The program provided me with an opportunity to increase my awareness of various issues in the DFW area in general and the Asian community in particular. Moreover, people were encouraged to take actions, such as joining a non-profit board, participating in community events, volunteering, etc. It opens up my mind that aside from the typical work-life balance of managing my family and building my career, there is also another aspect of life, which is what is happening in the community and what I can do to help. I also had the chance to forge close friendship and bonding with fellow Asian professionals from diverse background. Overall it's a wonderful experience, I am also honored to be a part of the next year Planning Committee. Class Beta ROCKS."

This program clearly exceeded my expectations. The six half day sessions were very well designed to cover various aspects from Community, Politics, Arts and Media just to name a few. I can say without doubt this program provided a window of opportunity to expand my network, meet and learn from leaders of DFW community and polish my social skills. My affinity for community involvement increased after this program. I would highly recommend every one to join this class.”

"The Leadership Tomorrow program has been one of the best personal and professional experiences of my life. The program has given me the opportunity to learn about various segments of the community. I have also incorporated the Leadership Tomorrow along with the Leadership Richardson program into Richland College's student leadership program Leadership Richland. This is a great example of the influence of Leadership Tomorrow into areas such as social services and education. One of the most valuable benefits of Leadership Tomorrow are the life long relationships that are created and maintained. I look forward to working with the future Leadership Tomorrow classes."

"The GDAACC Leadership Tomorrow Program provides invaluable opportunities to learn how to make an impact in Dallas. The classes provide a great chance to meet important business, cultural, and city leaders and to learn from them. The other great benefit is to meet wonderful classmates and fellow future leaders. Since completing Leadership Tomorrow, I have proudly taken on active roles on the board of OCA-DFW and the Asian Film Festival of Dallas, and I continue to apply what I learned to my everyday work and life. Leadership Tomorrow taught me to strive to make a larger impact, and has given me some wonderful contacts and friends to help me do it."
