The list of past graduates is full of community leaders who now serve on various boards, commissions and committees throughout the Decatur and Macon County area. The future of Macon County is linked to the quality of its leadership. Be part of that future and become an active, motivated leader through the Decatur Leadership Institute!

Build strong relationships to lead and serve the Decatur/Macon County community
Experience a behind-the-scenes look at community government, business and municipalities

"DLI offers a unique and intimate way to get acclimated and/or reacclimated in my case, to your city. In my opinion, it goes beyond just the awesome networking opportunities, and the great things the city of Decatur has to offer. It challenges each participant to hold themselves accountable for how they plan to impact positive change every day in the community. In a nutshell, if you want to be a true leader in this community and share ideas on how you are repping the city of Decatur, then DLI is definitely for you!" ~Johnette Mitchell, First Mid Bank & Trust, DLI Class of 2022
