Our impact is increased when we act together
Our impact is increased when we act together. LGW leaders hail from all parts of the DC region. We reflect a diversity of backgrounds and perspectives that make us a dynamic and collaborative community. As we each determine the best course towards rebuilding beyond the global pandemic, we are turning to each other for resources, cross-pollination of expertise, and support.
Since 1986, LGW has united leaders to make positive-impact happen in our community. The need for unified leadership has never been more urgent and apparent.
As an organization, LGW has pivoted to providing virtual programs and resources that reinforce our purpose to provide leaders with space and structure to learn from each other. While we continue to offer valuable opportunities for connection, sharing, and action, we also want to highlight and feature the authentic stories of our leaders during this time of change. By sharing these perspectives and connecting leaders in unique ways, we maintain a consistent focus on our mission— bringing leaders together to make a positive community impact in our region.
LGW leaders from all sectors are "Leading in the Moment," providing essential community relief and launching initiatives with a focus toward rebuilding post-pandemic. Share your story of leading through the pandemic.
