FEATURED UPCOMING EVENTS & TRAININGS
BoardMatch Montgomery Candidate Training
Tuesday | October 26, 2021
9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (Virtual)
BoardMatch Montgomery teaches emerging leaders and executives the skills necessary to successfully serve on a nonprofit board of directors – and then connects them to nonprofits that need skilled leaders on their boards. Serving on a nonprofit board is a great way to gain and hone leadership skills, broaden professional networks, and, most importantly, make a difference in our community.
Dismantling Inequity in the Workplace Training
Tuesday | November 9, 2021
9:30 AM – 3:30 PM (Virtual)
The Dismantling Inequity in the Workplace training is for leaders (who can exist at every level of an organization, regardless of title) who have a deep awareness of racial equity and commit to advancing equity and justice in both their professional and personal lives. The topics of this full-day workshop will vary (including implicit bias and microaggressions); however, each session will combine personal reflection, interpersonal skills-building, and practical applications that can assist in recognizing and dismantling inequities in the workplace and beyond.
Racial Equity Workshop – Phase 1
November 18 & 19, 2021
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Virtual)
In the Racial Equity Workshops (REI), led by the Racial Equity Institute, LLC, participants interactively explore perspectives on race, racism, and racial and ethnic disparities. With a wealth of historical, economic, and other data, skilled facilitators from the Racial Equity Institute will foster thoughtful analysis and dialogue. Participants typically garner insights that are both profound and practical for understanding and choosing the roles we play when it comes to equity in America, our communities, and our organizations.
Policy Around ALL In-Person Programming and Events
While Montgomery County continues to lead the nation in COVID vaccination rates, Leadership Montgomery (LM) remains vigilant with the health and safety of our constituents and partners.
- We will continue to monitor and adhere to all federal, state, and local guidelines around COVID-related policies.
- When we gather for in-person events/programs, LM will continue to encourage social distancing, supporting elbow bumps over handshakes.
- Currently, Montgomery County has been identified as a “substantial” risk area for COVID transmissions (as defined by the CDC) and has instituted an indoor mask mandate until further notice. Therefore, LM will follow this mask mandate and will require masks for all attendees/participants, regardless of vaccination status.
- Some event venues will require the usage of masks while on their premises (indoor and outdoor), regardless of vaccination status. We will follow each venue/business’s policies and notify all event attendees/participants accordingly.
This policy is subject to change as guidelines are updated. Should you have additional questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
Corporate Volunteer Awards Luncheon
Held in late winter/early spring, Leadership Montgomery’s Corporate Volunteer Awards Luncheon, recognizes local businesses in four categories – Emerging/Evolving Volunteer Program, Innovative Volunteer Program, Well Workplace and Partnership of the Year – for their support to the Montgomery County community through employee volunteer engagement. The award winners, chosen by an ad-hoc committee, have demonstrated a true passion for community involvement. Additionally, CVC Award is presented to one business, organization, or individual for outstanding service in Montgomery County.
The LEAD Forum
During this full-day leadership conference, attendees will have the opportunity to LEARN more about the county; ENGAGE with other leaders; AMPLIFY critical skills and DEVELOP the surrounding community. The goal of this forum is to give participants the tools of action needed to better prepare themselves to continue on the path of servant leadership.
Homecoming
Who says you can’t go home again? This October event welcomes the new CORE, Senior Leadership Montgomery and Emerging Leaders cohorts to the Leadership Montgomery network. It is also an opportunity to hear an annual update of the organization’s work, accomplishments and goals, as well as a chance to network with previous LM participants and other notable community influencers.
Leadership Montgomery Family Picnic
Sponsored and hosted by Smokey Glen Farm and Jim Sweet (CORE 2007), our popular annual event invites the Leadership Montgomery network to enjoy good food and mingle with fellow members of the LM community. This event features a casual and delicious outdoor BBQ dinner in a gorgeous farm setting that features landscaped meadows and beautiful shade trees. This is a great opportunity for members to bring the kids, grandkids, partners, spouses and significant others to enjoy a fun and relaxing evening.
