Invest in Tomorrow’s Leaders Today 

Leadership Baltimore County (LBC) is proud to announce a transformative opportunity to support changemakers in our community. Michael (Mike) J. Chesser, LBC’s founding board chair, has generously pledged to match every dollar donated—up to $50,000—in support of our scholarship fund in memory of LBC’s founding executive director, Elayne Hettleman. Your gift will go twice as far in empowering the next generation of leaders.  (See more of Mike's LBC alumni story HERE.)

 

Ensure Access 

Each year, LBC welcomes a diverse cohort of 50+ professionals committed to shaping a stronger Baltimore County for all. Many promising candidates face financial barriers that prevent them from participating. We expect the number to grow with federal, state and county budget constraints and rising costs across the board. LBC scholarship support is more critical than ever to ensure that leadership aptitude—not income—determines access to this life-changing experience.

 

Your Gift, Matched 1:1 

Every dollar you contribute will be matched by Mike’s generous support, helping to build a stronger Baltimore County. In additional to charitable contributions today, LBC can now accept Qualified Charitable Donations, IRA distributions, and planned gifts.
