“We are thrilled to kick off our 39th class convening a wonderfully diverse and talented group of extraordinary individuals who are leading throughout the Baltimore region. For the first time, a majority of class members identify as People of Color. The Class of 2023 joins a legacy of leaders who have contributed significantly to Baltimore, strengthening our organizations and the civic fabric of our community. Through their experience together, these leaders will further strengthen their capacity to mobilize others to catalyze change throughout the region,” shared David Sachs, Executive Director of The Leadership.
The Flagship Program is a 9-month experiential leadership program that develops participants in three areas:
- Deepening their understanding of Baltimore’s history, challenges, assets, and people
- Strengthening their capacity to lead, particularly in a civic context
- Forging substantive relationships to build a network for collective action
