The Greater Waco Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that Leadership Waco Class XLII has successfully completed the program.
During graduation, attendees heard about the cohort’s class project at Rapoport Academy, where class members worked to revitalize the campus through hands-on service and fundraising efforts. The class helped transform the school grounds by clearing nearly two decades of overgrown vines and tree stumps, building benches and raising funds to restore the school’s track. The project reflects Leadership Waco’s continued commitment to creating meaningful community impact through collaboration and service.
Leadership Waco continues to bring together emerging and established leaders from across industries to strengthen connections, deepen understanding of Greater Waco and inspire community leadership.
