\u201cThe selection process was very competitive, which is a testament to our members encouraging a diverse and broad spectrum of highly-qualified executives from across the state to apply to our program and share in their experience,\u201d said Ren\u00e9e M. Winsky, president and chief executive officer of Leadership Maryland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year’s cohort is a powerful cross-section of leaders from our state,\u201d Winsky said.  \u201cI’m excited to see them come together as a group and do great things in their workplaces, communities and beyond in the years to come.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leadership Maryland is open to senior-level executives with significant achievements in their careers or communities.  The program, which launched in 1993, is \u201cdedicated to building a better Maryland by harnessing the strength of its local business and community leaders.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideal Leadership Maryland members have a desire to learn more about the state’s most critical issues as well as a personal commitment to be a force for positive change in their organizations, their communities and the state of Maryland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
