Leadership is the key to securing a successful future for Maryland agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities. To meet the many challenges facing Maryland agriculture today, leaders committed to the future of Maryland agriculture must be able to resolve problems successfully in skillful, thoughtful and innovative ways. Leaders must be able to understand and articulate the important relationships between agriculture and other sectors of society, on all levels - local, state, national and international.The purpose of the LEAD Maryland Foundation is to provide men and women interested in the future of Maryland agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities with opportunities to:
- Expand their leadership abilities,
- Develop an active network of resourceful, diverse and highly motivated people,
- Increase their understanding of critical public issues and
- Enhance their knowledge of technological practices, marketing strategies and environmental concerns.
"I've participated in numerous leadership development programs but none hold a candle to the LEAD Maryland program in terms of caliber of the overall experience and its lasting influence." |
