Frequently Asked Questions What kind of time commitment is required for the program? Leadership Denton begins in August and ends the following April. Each month has a one-day class. Two classes require an overnight stay. There is also the class project which requires the efforts of the entire class to complete and may require additional meetings outside of class. Is attendance mandatory? Is there a dress code? Yes. Leadership Denton requires the best from Denton’s best. Accordingly, there is a high level of expectation with regard to attendance, appearance, and participation. Participants are expected to dress professionally (this means ties and jackets for the guys) and to be punctual. Start times of classes and events are strictly enforced. Absences and multiple tardies will result in not receiving a certificate of completion of the class. What is the application process like? Applications are accepted each year from April – May (please check the program year calendar). Only electronic applications that are submitted via the Denton Chamber’s website that meet all the criteria will be considered. The Selection Committee reviews those applications and based on that review, a group of applicants is selected to interview in front of the Selection Committee. Based on the Selection Committee's recommendations, a class of 12-20 people is selected to participate in the program. How much does the course cost? The class tuition is $700 and covers all of the travel and food costs for the class. This fee is due upon acceptance into the program. Tuition is nonrefundable.
