Since 1996, over 1,450 individuals from over 260 organizations have completed the Leadership Macomb core program. Each year, approximately 50 individuals are accepted into this unique educational program. The cohort meets for 11 full day sessions between September and May.

The systems include government, education and workforce development, healthcare, human services, arts and cultures, defense and aerospace, business, justice, community service and the environment. Sessions meet in various locations throughout Macomb County and are led by subject experts. Session agendas include presentations, panel discussions, group dialogue, interactive activities, and exclusive field trips that provide rare and unique experiences. Each session provides a valuable learning experience that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
