Leadership Southern Maryland

Member Spotlight: Agnes Miller

Program Manager, PSI Pax, Inc., LSM Class of 2015

“Diversity Day was my most memorable moment in LSM. In the beginning of the year you develop an opinion of the other classmates’ characters. But once you have the opportunity to spend several months with the individuals, you find that you may have misjudged a person or maybe you were even spot on. Diversity Day gives you an opportunity to say, even maybe out loud, that I misjudged that person’s character or you can say, hmm, I was right about that person all along.”

“I found that my colleagues in the first LSM class are absolutely friends forever. No matter where or when, if a class mate contacts me or vice versa, the response is immediate, warm and supportive.”

Celebrating 7 years of excellence connecting, collaborating,
and creating change in our community.

When we decided to build a leadership program for Southern Maryland, we wanted the program designed around the up and coming leaders located in the area. This effort resulted in a program that is dedicated to building a cadre of informed regional leaders, prepared to address common issues and bring long-term benefit to their neighbors and communities.

Now celebrating 8 years of excellence and moving into its ninth year, LSM continues to grow and thrive, boasting a highly diverse and engaged alumni. Connecting, collaborating and creating change in our community.
