Building committment to civic engagement.
Kansas City Tomorrow (KCT) Leadership program is a selective, ten-month experience that prepares senior-level business and community leaders for civic engagement in the Kansas City region.
As a program of The Civic Council of Greater Kansas City, KCT is committed to developing an expanded civic leadership cadre that is capable of addressing challenges facing the region.
KCT’s curriculum focuses on the region’s most pressing issues such as education, economic development, diversity and inclusion, and the KC Rising initiative. By interacting with Kansas City’s most influential civic leaders and industry experts, KCT participants gain insights into Civic Council priorities, along with a richer awareness of the importance of civic engagement.
The purpose of KCT is to prepare participants to assume leadership roles in the community, through appointment or election to public office, by serving on the boards of nonprofit organizations or by participating in KC Rising.
Initiated in 1978, KCT was designed to identify and cultivate future generations for civic engagement from the ranks of Kansas City’s up-and-coming business and community professionals. Today, KCT has over a thousand alumni, some of which are Kansas City Tomorrow Alumni Association (KCTAA) members. Established July 27, 1989, KCTAA is a nonprofit organization that keeps graduates connected to KCT alumni and program opportunities.
