Congratulations, LEAP Class of 2024!

LSM celebrated the achievements of its 3rd LSM Emerging Leaders Program (LEAP) with the graduation of the Class of 2024 on June 21st at Sgt. Major Robert V. Sluss Memorial Hall in Charlotte Hall. The 19-member class completed a 6-month program cultivating and refining their individual leadership acumen and exploring issues of concern to Southern Maryland. 

 

The graduation ceremony featured inspiring remarks on leadership by class member Paul Nicholson, Emergency Medical Services Supervisor for Calvert County. Nicholson was elected by the class to represent them.
