The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is an annual program for 30 high potential real estate individuals 40 years or younger by September 1, 2025. These individuals must be interested in learning more about San Antonio real estate, politics and the people and events that shape the industry and in developing their leadership skills and potential. The purpose is to develop leadership within our industry and to offer an extended networking forum for participants. The application process is highly competitive and not all applicants will be selected to participate. Only one applicant per company.

To submit an individual for consideration you must be a member in good standing prior to July 1, 2025. Participants must be willing to dedicate their time and talents to LDP* and must have their company’s support for the program throughout the year. We appreciate your support and cooperation in ensuring that your participant will be able to dedicate the required time to the program.

Each class member will be expected to attend and participate in each event, all of which will be during your normal business day. The applicant’s completed application, along with this nomination form, and any optional supplemental materials the applicant wishes to include must be received via online submission by 5:00 p.m. on July 17, 2025. If your nominee is selected to participate in the class, the class fee of $3,000 must be received by August 21, 2025.
