Last week on Spotlight On Maryland, Gina Crash was joined in studio by David Fike, President & CEO of Leadership Maryland to talk about their mission and their Executive Program and Emerging Leader Program.

Leadership Maryland is a statewide nonprofit offering professional development programs dedicated to building a better Maryland by harnessing the strength of its business and community leaders. Their mission is to connect, empower and inspire a diverse community of leaders to drive change within the state. Leadership Maryland's flagship program, the Executive Program, focuses on senior/executive-level leaders with extensive professional backgrounds who have made significant contributions to their organizations, industries and communities. Each year, approximately 53 diverse leaders from around the state are selected by a group of their peers to to participate in an 8 month educational program. Class members converge monthly in 5 different regions of the state for a series of 2-day sessions.


Their Emerging Leader Program started in 2024 and brings together a class of 30-40 rising stars from our state's public, private, government, education and nonprofit sectors and gives them the skills they need to advance their careers. Selected participants will complete a 6-month program of monthly learning sessions guided by a facilitator and leaders from various industries around the state.

Applications for the 2027 class year for both programs opened September 2nd and close October 31st. Anyone interested in either program can visit their website leadershipmd.org to learn more and apply. You can also follow Leadership Maryland on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Instagram.
