Williamson Community Leadership Program
The Williamson Community Leadership Program (WCLP) is our flagship program and is a unique, immersive, year-long program for highly experienced leaders.
Often described as life-changing, the program expands the way leaders see the world and changes the way they exercise leadership. It pushes participants to experiment – continually challenging how and why they lead – while building a trusted, life-long network. Program graduates, or Williamson Fellows, join our Alumni community of 6,000+ leaders from across all sectors, locations, backgrounds and life experiences.
