Maryland LEAD Program
About Us
The Maryland Leadership Education and Development (LEAD) Program engages students in leadership experiences that complement academic, co-curricular, career, and community engagement opportunities. Through institutes, conferences, retreats, and peer education the Maryland LEAD Program develops the skills necessary to practice socially responsible leadership.
Our view and philosophy on leadership and leadership development includes...
- Leadership is a skill that can be learned and developed
- Leadership is collaborative
- Leadership is a process, not a position.
- Leadership starts with the individual (purpose, motivation, values)
- Leadership is values-based
- Leadership is inclusive
- Leadership is about working with others for positive change
- Leadership development is a life-long process
