Professional development training consists of eight offerings including “Mastering the Virtual Workplace”, “Emotional Intelligence” and “Cultivating a Thriving and Engaged Organizational Culture”. The available training topics were developed in response to recurring topics that leaders were discussing in the leadership programs during their curriculum year.

The race equity training focuses on helping leaders to address and understand racism in the workplace.  Workshops include  “Let’s Talk About Race, “Dismantling Inequity in the Workplace” and the two-day “Racial Equity Workshop”, facilitated by the Race Equity Institute, a Greensboro, N.C. based organization assisting individuals explore perspectives on race.

Completing LM’s menu of professional trainings is BoardMatch Montgomery which trains local leaders wishing to serve on nonprofit boards and matches them to Montgomery County nonprofits looking for board members.

“Many leaders have realized the value in continuing education for both themselves and their employees, especially in the last few months” said C. Marie Taylor, President & CEO of LM. “Because Leadership Montgomery uniquely connects and educates our community’s leaders, we are able to effectively provide these training resources to the public, private and non-profit sectors.”

Trainings range from $149 to $1,000 per person and vary between half-day, full-day and two-day courses.
