The class began as the Class of 2020 but was postponed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure the safety of all participants, this year’s program will include a hybrid of virtual programming and in-person sessions, if and when possible. The program will run from April to December, and include five, two-day sessions focused on Maryland’s five main geographic regions and the most vital issues impacting economic development, education, health and human services, criminal justice, the environment, and multi-culturalism/diversity across the state. More than 100 experts representing business, government, education, and the non-profit community will serve as panelists and guest speakers.

“As with our previous associates chosen in past years, we are proud that Brian was selected. It really is a testament to our people here at Qlarant, “said Dr. Ronald Forsythe, CEO at Qlarant. “We are thrilled to be able to send another member of our leadership team to this valuable program.”
