After Graduation
The Leadership Howard County alumni network is a remarkable resource of colleagues who share a common interest in community engagement. They are at the forefront of many of the current discussions in Howard County on growth and development, human services, economic impact, and more.
Alumni have the opportunity to stay connected through informative quarterly programs and events, an annual issues forum and our annual Big Event. Many also take part in activities with other community leadership groups in our region, and several are graduates of Leadership Maryland.
Classes also stay connected by taking on community service projects. Many find fulfilling ways to put their leadership into action, while maintaining friendships and professional associations gained through LHC.
Alumni also give generously to the many committees and programs that keep Leadership Howard County a vibrant and dynamic organization.
