THE LSM

EXPERIENCE

Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) is not your typical leadership development program. We leave the textbooks behind and go behind the scenes to focus on our region’s challenges. Founded in 2008 as a community leadership development nonprofit, LSM provides local leaders experiential opportunities to collaborate, broaden their knowledge, and expand their leadership capabilities for the greater good of Southern Maryland.

LSM Homecoming returns “Under the Lighthouse” on October 6 at Calvert Marine Museum. Purchase tickets / RSVP HERE. Remember, LSMAA members attend this event for FREE. Don’t miss out!

“My favorite part of LSM was the friendships I built as well as the industries I had a chance to experience. Each one provided me a wealth of information and knowledge as to how our communities plan and develop as well as depend on each other.”

“I really appreciated the broad representation across the local community and government. I did not grow up here and so I had a limited understanding of some of the deeper social and economic issues in the local communities. My LSM experience taught me a lot of things I didn’t know about those local issues.”
