Leadership Tuolumne County (LTC) is a community education program sponsored by the Tuolumne County Chamber of Commerce. LTC was developed in 1992 by a group of business and community leaders including the Chamber of Commerce, Topic Day Committees, Sonora Area Foundation, and dozens of community participants.

The program examines current issues by providing participants an in-depth look at private enterprise, government agencies, organizations, and individuals that make decisions affecting our county every day.

Leadership Tuolumne County (LTC) was formed to provide continuity in the stewardship of the community. LTC is a community-wide effort to ensure a solid base of informed and effective leaders to meet and address the present and future challenges, which face Tuolumne County.

The goals are:
• To identify, motivate and develop potential community leaders.
• To expand the individual leadership potential of participants through education, exposure and exchange.
• To provide leadership opportunities for participants.
• To foster a commitment to community service.
• To create a spirit of cooperation for the resolution of future community challenges.
