Info

Leadership Anne Arundel is a non-profit organization focused on providing leadership education and training for individuals interested in improving their community leadership skills. It's mission is to provide people of diverse backgrounds with the education, resources and networks necessary to become successful proactive leaders. In 1993, the Greater Annapolis Chamber of Commerce joined the Anne Arundel Trade Council to form Leadership Anne Arundel. The first program, now called the Flagship program, was started that fall. Since that time, LAA developed the Executive Leadership Series and Neighborhood Leadership Academy programs. With more than 800 graduates, this growing member base is spreading its influence within the city government, business, non-profit, and community based organizations. Members served in political and appointed government positions, on boards and community associations, and have created initiatives that have added to the enrichment of the community. Thanks to the participation of so many Leadership Anne Arundel members and sponsors, LAA's 2007 Tribute to Community Leadership was one of the largest ever with 350 in attendance. We celebrated with the more than 90 graduates of the 2007 classes and recognized the contributions that various LAA graduates have made to the Anne Arundel Community over the past 13 years. LAA has become an essential resource for community leaders. Leadership Anne Arundel builds, connects, and celebrates community leaders through training, information, and networking. Since its inception in 1993, more than 800 individuals have completed one of three LAA community leadership programs. Graduates of the programs have become involved in non-profit boards, community organizations, and local governments and have launched other successful programs, such asThe Annapolis Leadership Zone
