    Leadership Edinburg Class XXX Completes History Session at MOST History

    Edinburg- Leadership Edinburg (LE) Class XXX recently completed a history session at the Museum of South Texas History. The session offered insights and knowledge on the history of Edinburg and its importance to the Rio Grande Valley. The session agenda included presentations by MOST History officer Joseph Fox and Dr. Joseph Chance, discussions and a tour of the Accredited Museum. Leadership Edinburg class members also visited the Edinburg Fire Department Museum. The Museum contains articles, photos and collectables since its establishment in 1926.  The seminars help Leadership Edinburg members gain knowledge in areas that have a direct impact on our community.

    Leadership Edinburg is designed by the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce to allow class members to interact with one another and members of the community to encourage a better Edinburg. The nine month program is structured to help class members understand the problems and opportunities we face through strong leadership skills focusing on politics, education, and quality of life. We want to thank Memorial Funeral Home and the Museum of South Texas History for sponsoring the History Session.
