Jonesboro, Louisiana — Mayor J. Spike Harris proudly announces the launch of the Jonesboro Municipal Leadership Academy, an innovative leadership development initiative designed to prepare and empower current and future leaders within the Town of Jonesboro.
The Academy will offer a unique in-person and online training experience, providing participants with direct access to practical knowledge, real-world municipal operations, and leadership principles essential for effective governance.

The Jonesboro Municipal Leadership Academy will focus on key areas, including municipal structure, financial accountability, infrastructure planning, public safety operations, and strategic leadership.
By aligning participants around a shared vision and a consistent framework, the program aims to strengthen organizational effectiveness and build a pipeline of informed, capable leaders prepared to serve the town at the highest level.
“This Academy is about building the future of Jonesboro from within,” said Mayor Harris. “We are creating an opportunity for individuals to learn, grow, and lead with clarity, purpose, and a unified vision for how our town should operate.”
The initiative reflects the Town’s ongoing commitment to transparency, education, and long-term sustainability by investing in people and leadership development. Through this program, Jonesboro continues to position itself as a forward-thinking municipality focused on progress, accountability, and community engagement.
