One of the things our Executive Program alumni tell us over and over again is “I wished you could experience Leadership Maryland all over again”. Here is your chance! Leadership Maryland will soon offer the Encore Program for alumni who are ready to continue their learning journeys. This program will be available exclusively to members in good standing who completed the Executive Program two or more years ago.
As many as 30 participants will be selected each year to complete an eight-month program that visits each region of our state and provides a deeper examination of five critical issues faced by Maryland. Unlike the Executive Program, the Encore Program curriculum is chosen and developed based on the interests of the class, allowing participants to shape their own experience.
How it Works:
As many as 30 participants will be selected each year to complete an eight-month program that visits each region of our state and provides a deeper examination of five critical issues faced by Maryland. Unlike the Executive Program, the Encore Program curriculum is chosen and developed based on the interests of the class, allowing participants to shape their own experience.
How it Works:
- Encore Program applicants are given a list of 25 topics that are relevant and important in Maryland and asked to rank their top seven choices in order of interest.
- The five most highly ranked topics will be used as the focus areas for the regional sessions – one topic per session.
- Up to 30 applicants will be chosen for the program. Participants will be selected based on their topic choices from the application and placed into groups based on the topics they ranked highest in importance. These groups will serve as the program committees for their assigned sessions and will work with the LMD staff to develop the session agenda, including curriculum, venues, and speakers.
- Each two-day session will focus on one topic allowing for in-depth conversations. Both days will be at locations related to the topic with the first day focused on the issues and the second on solutions.
- As with our other programs, our diversity standards will be applied during the selection process, but the first step of selection will be based on your topic selections with the application.
- Applicants who are Lifetime Members and/or have volunteered to serve on LMD committees or the board of directors in the past will be given preferential consideration.
- $500 of your tuition fee will be allocated to the scholarship fund for our Emerging Leader Program.
