I am voluntarily riding to and from sessions of Leadership Pearland. Sometimes I travel in personal vehicles, and at other times in vehicles or buses that are either rented or provided on a pro bono basis. This transportation benefits the Leadership Pearland program, the Pearland Chamber of Commerce, and me as a member of the Leadership Pearland program. I realize that travel in these vehicles carries a risk, just as any travel in any vehicle does, whether I am driving or someone else is driving. Road conditions, weather conditions, and the actions of other drivers will influence the safety of travel. I hereby release the drivers, providers of the vehicles (whether owned, rented, or leased), all participants in Leadership Pearland and their employers, as well as all representatives of Leadership Pearland, the Pearland Leadership Foundation, and the Pearland Chamber of Commerce and their employees, from any liability for any injuries that may be associated with driving to and from Leadership Pearland activities.

I understand that, as part of the Leadership Pearland application process, I will be required to submit an Employer Release Form. This form must be completed and signed by my employer, acknowledging the time commitment associated with participation in the program and confirming support for my attendance. I acknowledge that the Employer Release Form will be provided to me upon submission of my application and that my application will not be considered complete or eligible for review until the completed form has been received.

I understand that acceptance into Leadership Pearland is contingent upon payment of the program tuition. If selected, I agree to submit the full tuition payment on or before September 1. Failure to remit payment by the stated deadline may result in forfeiture of my placement in the program. I acknowledge that tuition is non-refundable and that my application will not be considered complete until all required documentation and payment obligations have been satisfied.

I acknowledge that I have reviewed the Leadership Pearland program schedule and understand the time commitment required for participation. I confirm that I am available to attend all required program activities, including mandatory events, sessions, and travel associated with the program. I understand that program dates, times, locations, and activities are subject to change as necessary. I agree to make every reasonable effort to accommodate any schedule adjustments and acknowledge that I will be notified of changes as they occur.

I hereby grant full permission to Leadership Pearland and the Pearland Chamber of Commerce to use my photo and profile information from the Leadership Pearland application in any publication or advertising materials I printed or electronically. This consent also serves to waive all rights of privacy or compensation which I may have in connection with the use of my photograph or profile information.

I have reviewed the program schedule and cleared my calendar to participate in the Leadership Pearland Program. I commit to attending the opening retreat, all the regular sessions, Pearland Day in Austin, additional events as needed and the graduation celebration. If applicable, I have my employer's support as indicated below and we both have reviewed the Leadership Pearland expectations and class schedule. I will devote the time and resources necessary to complete the program in its entirety. I understand that missing more than 8 hours, for whatever reason, I may be asked to withdraw from the Leadership Pearland Class. I agree that the $2000 payment is a non-refundable tuition cost for the Program.
