Leadership Rogers County began as a part of the Claremore Chamber of Commerce. The inaugural class (Leadership Claremore) launched in 1991 as a Claremore area program.
In 2003 the Leadership Claremore program was expanded to a county wide area which included the name change to Leadership Rogers County. In 2005 it was incorporated as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.
Leadership Rogers County develops talents and broadens perspectives of present and future community leaders by providing them with practical information concerning community problems and issues.
Funding for the Leadership Rogers County program comes from an annual golf tournament and tuitions. The golf tournament is a coordinated effort between the LRC Board of Directors, LRC alumni and the current LRC class.
