The Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors uses the graduate roster in similar manner. The class of each LJ class consists of nominations made by Chamber members and City government. Each class begins with approximately 25-30 individuals who live in Jenks, work in Jenks, or have a business in Jenks. It is desirable that participants represent a cross section of the Jenks community. LJ does not cost the participant anything but time and active participation.
Dinner is provided at each meeting without cost to the participant.
A field trip also is planned to make the connection between information from the leadership sessions and physical developments. A special speaker addresses the graduating class on the qualities of leadership from the speaker's experiences at the conclusion of the course.
