Introduction

A REMARKABLE ASPECT OF HOWARD COUNTY IS the number of people involved in community service. If not unique, extremely rare. While many communities lack creative leadership, Howard County is rich with innovators: nonprofit directors and board members, public officials, professionals, adults and young people. And the collaborative leadership that is so indicative of the county shows no sign of abating. We are proud to be part of this community, and we’re grateful to have so many committed and caring partners.
