What Members are Saying About Leadership Greater Washington

"The connections made through this dynamic organization have been profitable for my profession which is commercial real estate advisory services. In a business driven by largely by relationships, having the common denominator of being members of Leadership Greater Washington has given me a credibility and validation which has been highly effective."
Susan Pepper ('90), Senior Vice President of Grubb & Ellis Company

"It is one of the best investments of my life."
Russell Simmons ('95), Principal of Community Development Concepts, Inc.

"Leadership Greater Washington has given me the opportunity to examine myself as a leader and to meet extraordinary individuals who inspire me to work harder, reach further and do more. I have been fortunate to have many LGW members join the Cultural Alliance board. The resources available to me through LGW are invaluable."
Jennifer Cover Payne ('98), President of the Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington

"LGW enabled me to make a relatively seamless transition from the 'for profit' to the 'not for profit' world of philanthropy. Although I have lived in Washington all my life, it exposed me to realities and perspectives on the region that I had not encountered previously. Perhaps most importantly, it has expanded the network of people on whom I have come to rely and trust and count as friends."
Candice Bryant ('99), Past President of the Philip L. Graham Fund
