My experience with Leadership Howard County gave me invaluable insight into the way in which people and institutions shape my community. The program enabled me to develop strong and enduring relationships with my Leadership classmates, all of whom are exemplary leaders in their professional and personal lives. The program fundamentally changed my perspective about my own responsibility as a community leader and showed me how to contribute to the betterment of Howard County.
Being a life-long resident, as well as working in Howard County nearly my entire career, I enjoy the fabulous quality of life this community has to offer. It wasn’t, however, until my 2003 Leadership experience I realized just how much I didn’t know about Howard County and those elements that make it such great place to live and work. Through a comprehensive and interactive program, Leadership taught me the significant impact vigorous and consistent service has on the continued strengthening of the community. As an active LHC graduate, regular interaction with other alum and attendance at LHC events provides ongoing personal and professional learning opportunities.
