Through civic action, education and events, and meaningful programming, we promote powerful connections among a diverse community of visionary influencers
The Signature Program (also known as the Class Year) brings together diverse senior leaders to identify, examine and actively address civic issues in Greater Washington. By mobilizing these leaders around a common cause, the program empowers them to serve as a collective force for social change. Participants become members of LGW upon completing the program.
“LGW fosters an empowering environment where regional leaders come together to tackle challenges, drive innovation, build a strong sense of community, and make a significant, transformative impact on the region, inspiring the entire nation. My experience with LGW has been unparalleled among leadership programs, and I take immense pride in being a part of this esteemed group of leaders.”
