Leadership Austin Essential Class Curriculum Map

Leadership Austin is an organization that's been an integral part of the Austin community for more than 30 years. They offer a 9-month course that trains tomorrow's leaders, many of whom go on to be council members, business leaders, public speakers and so on. Heather McKissick, the CEO, asked me to create a large-scale graphic that would illustrate the milestones for the class and also serve as an symbolic document upon completion. So at the end of each monthly class, one of the participants is asked to color in the star next to the topic they just completed. It's a gesture of commitment and continued participation by the group, and we designed the graphic so that the digital can be modified and easily reprinted for each incoming class. Good fun.
