Executive Program Studies Regional
Human Services and Housing Challenges |
The Hon. Amy Lorenzini, Associate Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Mary’s County, informs Leadership Southern Maryland Executive Program participants about special initiatives of the court to provide legal assistance to residents with economic or mental and behavioral health challenges.
The Executive Program Class of 2025 convened at the St. Mary's County Public Library--Leonardtown Branch on January 16 to study the tri-county area’s critical housing and human services challenges. They heard from industry leaders about the needs and concerns of children, low-income families, residents dealing with mental and behavioral health issues and domestic violence, and the limited stock of affordable and workforce housing in Southern Maryland.
Center for Children, Inc. Executive Director and LSM founding sponsor Cathy Meyers, LMd '98 introduced the executives to the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Assessment. ACE Assessments raise awareness of how children’s experiences of domestic violence, parental behavioral health issues, and economic insecurity can affect their ability to thrive in adulthood.
Participants spoke with human services, behavioral health, and housing specialists about challenges Southern Marylanders face in accessing the many community resources available to support them, securing affordable housing, and having reliable transportation.
Associate Judge of the Circuit Court of St. Mary’s County, the Hon. Amy Lorenzini, provided a judicial education brief and described special initiatives of the court, such as the Family Law Court Help Clinic, which provides free legal assistance with family law matters and the Family Recovery Court Program that offers assistance to parents with substance abuse or mental health issues. Heartfelt thanks to Chris Longmore, LSM '09; Jennifer Moreland, LSM '17; Mike Bellis, LSM '19; and Jimmy Hayden, LSM '21 for their exceptional presentations. Special thanks to Program Advocates Mia Bowers, LSM '22 and Amy Ford, LSM '19 for designing a full day of high-impact experiences. | LEAP's Emerging Leaders Examine the Leader Within |
The LSM Emerging Leaders Program (LEAP) Class of 2025 gathered on January 17 at the Chesapeake Hills Golf Course in Lusby for the first full-day session of their six-month leadership experience. In "Personal Mastery," they explored how their personal thinking and behavioral preferences influence their leadership style and effectiveness. The session centered on their Emergenetics Assessments facilitated by Leslie Fazio, LSM '22 and featured a presentation on goal setting by Dr. Dale Moore, LSM '24.
