Our Panama City office hosted the 2025-2026 Leadership Bay Class, an elite group of emerging local leaders, for an immersive two-hour look into the world of out-of-home advertising. The visit featured a hands-on "show and tell" from their operations team regarding equipment and safety, followed by an in-depth presentation on creative design and sales. By opening their doors to this community development program, they gained valuable exposure to high-potential local candidates and professional partners they might not have otherwise reached!...Show more

Lamar's second class of the Emerging Leaders Program officially wrapped up in late April with a successful Graduation Celebration and Project Presentation Showcase. Throughout the program, participants were challenged to step back and work “on the business” by developing strategic and process improvement initiatives designed to strengthen their teams, operations, and markets. The final presentations were well received, and several project ideas are already being explored and implemented across the organization. We are also excited to share that 25% of this year’s ELP class has already earned promotions since the September 2025 summit. This fast-growing statistic attests to the talent, dedication, and leadership potential within the group. Congratulations again to the ELP Class of 2025 for an outstanding program year and for helping shape the future of Lamar leadership!...Show more
