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.

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.

Encore Program
The Encore Program for alumni who are ready to continue their learning journeys. This program is 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.

“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.”
