Why It Matters

Working together is the key to our community’s best future. Texarkana citizens have proven time and again that we are a community of excellence, and we achieve excellence when we work together with a common purpose for the benefit of all.

When we don’t work together, we settle for half as nice and miss opportunities for excellence that would benefit us all: our businesses, our families, our institutions, our city governments, and our region.

Leadership Texarkana is committed to ensuring Texarkana’s best future by fostering a culture and a community full of citizens taking responsibility for and working together for community excellence, pride, and progress!
