"Leadership Dorchester is a way to challenge yourself like no other. Belonging to a group of peers that are equally invested your community, gives you the opportunity to build relationships, develop personal and professional growth, and experience new challenges outside your comfort zone. I feel more confident that I can help build a better tomorrow because of what I learned through the Leadership Dorchester program."
Keri Scougale, Leadership Dorchester Class of 2018

"I grew up in Dorchester County. Participating in Leadership Dorchester made me realize just how much I didn't know about the place I call home. Each session opened my eyes to new opportunities and organizations within the community and introduced me to a multitude of dedicated citizens and leaders working behind the scenes every day. As we explored Dorchester County and worked together on our class project, I got to know each of my classmates personally. I gained wonderful new friends and professional collaborators." -Elizabeth Neal, Dorchester County Library, LD 2022
