Our many employees and Board members who have graduated from Leadership Howard County have played major roles in supporting the hospital's mission, leading change both within our organization and throughout the community. Leadership Howard County has provided them with a tremendous opportunity for personal and professional growth.
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.
Leadership U is open to high school sophomores (or equivalents who are home-schooled) who live in Howard County. Students may attend public or private school, or be home-schooled.
Students must have a desire to learn about their community and a willingness to volunteer. LU is a great way to meet new people from different schools who share similar interests in knowing more about their community, and who want to make a positive impact.
