- Received Award for “Best Class Ever” for providing the most service and community engagement of any graduating clas in that scholastic year.
In the months that follow, the class is immersed in experiences that address specific aspects of our community.
Each session day gives participants a hands-on look at what is happening in that field; the opportunity to hear from leaders of organizations and the key issues they are addressing; often site visits and first-hand accounts of those who deliver services to the community are part of many sessions.
Each day-long experience is designed by Leadership Howard County alumni and other professionals who have expertise in the area of focus.
In addition to each month’s day-long session, class members may take part in “learning opportunities” or experiential site visits to unique locations that provide a deeper understanding of issues, attractions or topics in the community and work on community impact projects.
