OUR PROGRAMS

CORE

Through this exclusive program, established executives from across the public, private and nonprofit sectors will expand their knowledge, influence, and effectiveness as leaders and advocates for Montgomery County.

EL

Emerging Leaders is a dynamic program designed for professionals looking to develop and grow their leadership capabilities, enhance their knowledge of Montgomery County, and build their network.

ENCORE

The Encore program (formerly the Senior Leadership Montgomery program) is for those recently retired or soon-to-be-retired from full-time employment. This program will help participants discover their post-professional leadership purpose.

The REAL Inclusion program is designed to provide organizations the awareness, skills and structures needed to identify and implement practices that lead to racially equitable outcomes.

INFORM

We inform the leaders and future leaders of Montgomery County through relevant programs, training, events, and experiential learning opportunities that broaden perspectives and deepen understanding.

CONNECT

We connect leaders across public, private and nonprofit sectors to forge relationships and discover common interests that create a strong, thriving and dynamic community.

SUPPORT

We support individuals in achieving their personal and professional goals as well as community advancement by offering service and volunteer opportunities to our members and partners where they can put their knowledge and connections to work for good.

“The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued.”
