THE LSM
EXPERIENCE
Leadership Southern Maryland (LSM) is not your typical leadership development organization. Our Executive Program and our Emerging Leaders Program leave the textbooks behind to provide local leaders experiential opportunities to connect, broaden their knowledge of our community and its needs, and expand their leadership capabilities for the greater good of Southern Maryland.
‘Tis the season to give and give thanks! As you reflect on where your year-end gifts can have an impact, please consider Leadership Southern Maryland. With support from individuals and organizations like you, LSM provides community-driven learning experiences that connect, inform, and inspire Southern Maryland leaders to ignite positive change in our region.
LSM graduates and friends gather on Wednesday, October 8th, 5 to 7pm, to reconnect with classmates and meet new members of the LSM family. There will be refreshments, live and silent auctions, a 50/50 raffle, and announcement of the winners of the 2025 Best Class Ever Challenge!
Giving Tuesday Southern Maryland Style!
Join neighbors across Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties for the first-ever Southern Maryland Day of Giving—a celebration of generosity that directly fuels the nonprofits serving our community every day.
LSM’s annual golf classic is teed up for June 26th at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course in Lusby! All golfers, sip and swing fans, and social spectators are welcome and encouraged to join regional leaders from throughout Southern Maryland to enjoy a day of golf and connections at one of the region’s premier courses. Both team and individual registrations are available.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
“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.”
Maria Thorpe, LSM ‘18 ––––– Learn more
“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.”
CAPT Chris Cox, LSM ‘19 ––––– Learn more
