Leadership Daytona Changed My Perspective on Our Community
"Leadership Daytona was one of the most valuable experiences I've had in this community."
When asked about his experience, Jonny Magill of Jonny Nomad Photography shared that Leadership Daytona provided far more than professional development. It gave him a deeper understanding of the people, organizations, challenges, and opportunities that shape the greater Daytona Beach region every day.
Through exclusive access to community leaders, behind-the-scenes experiences, and meaningful discussions, participants gain a unique perspective on how our community works and where they can make a difference. Just as importantly, they build lasting relationships with fellow professionals who are committed to creating a stronger future for our region.
"What makes the class so special is the access, the relationships, and the perspective you gain. You get into rooms you normally wouldn't be in, hear directly from leaders across different parts of the community, and walk away with a much clearer picture of how this area actually works."
Leadership Daytona doesn't end at graduation. For Jonny, the experience inspired him to remain engaged through the Leadership Daytona Alumni Council, continuing to serve and support the community long after completing the program.
Applications are now open for the 46th Class of Leadership Daytona. If you're ready to become more connected, more informed, and more involved in shaping our community's future, we encourage you to apply.
