VIRTUAL TRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP & GRADUATION CELEBRATION

INSPIRE | DE VELOP | CONNEC T

A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM

KRIS SHOCK

Leadership Anne Arundel President and CEO

Welcome to our virtual Tribute to Community Leadership and Graduation ceremony.

Needless to say, this is not how we imagined we would wrap up our Flagship or Neighborhood Leadership Academy programs. Nevertheless, we must gather now virtually because we literally cannot wait to celebrate our 2020 graduates and our special honorees. While our community and our nation face greater challenges than many of us have seen in our lifetimes, we are heartened by the passion and dedication of the leaders we celebrate this evening. Tonight, they take their place among the broader LAA alumni community. Together, we have the talent, vision, drive and determination to emerge from these difficult times better and stronger than we could have imagined.

Congratulations LAA 2020 Graduates and Special Honorees!
