Leadership Howard County provided me with important insights into the strong partnerships that make this a community I’m proud to serve. These relationships help us develop better solutions to community challenges.

Welcome to the new members of the Leadership Howard County Class of 2012!
The program begins September 7, 2011 and will meet in monthly sessions created to raise awareness of the issues and challenges facing our community.
