Our Programs

Leadership Maryland offers three program tracks: Executive, Emerging Leader, and Encore.

Executive Program
Each year, 52 accomplished and diverse leaders from around the state are selected by a group of their peers to participate in a stimulating and thought-provoking eight-month educational program. The program is intense; the results are rich and rewarding. Class members converge monthly, April through November, in five different regions of the state for a series of two-day sessions. One day is focused on successful and replicable programs and meaningful places in the region while the other is focused on Maryland’s most current and vital issues, including education; economic development; health and human services; criminal justice; the environment; agriculture; and, multi-culturalism and diversity. At its core, Leadership Maryland is about the importance of leadership, differing opinions and perspectives, and relationships.

Learn more about the Executive Program.

Emerging Leader Program
Leadership Maryland’s Emerging Leader Program brings together a class of 40 rising stars from our state’s public, private, government, and nonprofit sectors and gives them the skills and tools they need to advance in their careers. Selected participants will complete a six-month program (June – November) of monthly learning sessions guided by a facilitator and leaders from various industries around the state.

Learn more about the Emerging Leader Program.

Executive Master Series
The Executive Master Series is for alumni who are ready to continue their learning journey. This program is available exclusively to members in good standing who have completed the Executive Program. The Executive Master Series takes an in-depth look at major issues facing Maryland and allows participants the opportunity to invest more discussion time and to talk through issues and potential solutions in a small group setting. Each year there will be up to three unique series offered, each series focusing on a different topic. Applicants will choose which series to join for the year.

If you are not sure which program is right for you, contact President & CEO David Fike.



“In the end, it’s the element of trust that Leadership Maryland offers… as a gift: to allow us to learn more about ourselves, and to realize the connectedness of all things. Leadership Maryland gave us the experiences, the role models and a circle of friends to trust as we go about the essential work of leaders, which is, helping others.”
Lisa Hillman ‘06
