Letter from Mayor Ben Short

I am honored to build upon the incredible vision set forth by my predecessor, Buddy Choat, in establishing Leadership Trussville. This program has been a beacon for identifying and nurturing exceptional leaders in our city, and I am proud to be a graduate of this program.

Leadership Trussville is more than just a program; it’s a commitment to fostering a network of passionate individuals who are dedicated to the betterment of our community. Our objective is clear: to bring together leaders who share a love for Trussville and a desire to collaborate on innovative ideas and initiatives that will enhance the quality of life for all residents.

Through Leadership Trussville, participants engage deeply with one another, sharing insights and experiences that will shape the future of our city. We believe that our greatest asset is our people, and by harnessing the collective strengths of our community, we can create a thriving environment where everyone can live, work, play, and worship.

I encourage each of you to consider the impact you can have through your involvement in Leadership Trussville. Together, we can continue to make Trussville the “Gateway to Happy Living” and ensure our city remains a vibrant place for generations to come.
