About the LEAD Maryland Foundation, Inc.
Education is essential to develop leaders and to determine the direction of Maryland agriculture. The LEAD Maryland program is designed for men and women with leadership potential who are involved with the production of agriculture, or have careers or activities related to agricultural, natural resources, or rural services and businesses.
Our program works by awarding educational two-year fellowships to individuals. Successful candidates will have demonstrated emerging leadership abilities as well as a genuine interest in agricultural and societal issues. Fellows attend eight three-day seminars held at various locations around the state. Leading the seminars are industry leaders, state and national agency representatives, professional trainers and university faculty.
Fellows learn through lecture, discussion, self-assessment, and group activities. Fellows also take part in study tours - domestic and international - designed to help leaders-in-training compare and contrast political, economic, social and cultural issues.
Please view our 2009 Annual Report.
The knowledge and information that is offered would be next to impossible to acquire on your own. The sessions provide us with the tools to become leaders in all aspects of our own life. With only half of the program completed, I have already become involved in local and state organizations - I know that I would not have without attending LEAD Maryland. |
LEAD Maryland Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to identifying and developing leadership for agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
