“Leadership Maryland was one of the most rewarding experiences in my professional life. As head of Government Affairs for a leading corporation in Maryland, learning about the state’s most critical public policy issues and working with the leaders who make a difference on those issues has been invaluable. I have been affiliated with LMD since 1996, and I am still impressed with the diversity of its membership and the passion of its members”
