Leadership Greater Washington's Volunteer of the Year!!

I am humbled to be the recipient of Leadership Greater Washington’s 2013 Pepco Volunteer of the Year Award.

I have served on the board of Leadership Greater Washington (LGW) for the past five years—this year as chair-elect and co-chair of Youth Leadership Greater Washington. LGW is a terrific organization, one that connects and trains leaders from across the Washington area’s diverse cultures of business, politics, government, nonprofits, and more. LGW builds and connects Washington’s leaders so that they may continue to make positive change in the region.

LGW offers three fantastic programs: the Signature Program for leaders; the Effective Leadership Institute, a six-month leadership development program; and Youth Leadership Greater Washington, a six-month interactive youth leadership development program. All have the same purpose: to encourage, train, and connect our region’s leaders so that they may work together to continue to make our region great.

LGW means a lot to me, and I am thrilled to have received this award. Thanks LGW!
