Class Fellows

Action, the personal involvement and momentum of each Fellow, is at the heart of the program. LEAD Fellows participate actively in all seminars and study tours.  Fellows must have a willingness to stay involved in the program after graduation.

Activities of the Fellows and Alumni determine the success of the LEAD Maryland program. LEAD graduates are called on to serve their industry, community, organizations, and may serve through public office.

Applications for the next two-year fellowship will be available in July of 2010 and will be due October 1, with selection of the upcoming class shortly thereafter.  The next two-year fellowship, Class VII, will begin in February 2011 and continue through 2012.

To date, the LEAD Maryland program has 114 Alumni (Class I-V) and 22 Class VI Fellows from counties throughout the state. Please view our Class VI Photo Directory for those who are currently in the LEAD Maryland program.

"I think most everything that I'm professionally involved with has some tie into my experience with LEAD Maryland. And even in my personal life, I strive to emerge as a leader, knowing that I've been given the tools and experience to make a difference."
