“LPW gave me a personal awareness that I didn’t have before. Professionally, it’s rich with opportunities to listen, learn, and grow; and reminded me that effective leadership is the composition of many well-balanced characteristics.”

– Jackie Krick,CEO of ECU Communications, Class of 2015

“Leadership Prince William peeled back the layers of my county and provided an up-close and personal look at ways in which I could jump in and make a difference.“

– Ramunda Young, Campus & Community Relations, Class of 2014

“It is extremely important to me to live in a community where the citizens and businesses have a goal of making the community better for the youth and families who reside there—LPW provides the conduit to make that happen.”

– Jason Hickman, Managing Partner at Compton & Duling, Class of 2011

“I originally thought I didn’t have the bandwidth to participate, but boy was I wrong. It has been the most invigorating experience – meeting new people, making new friends, learning to hone my leadership skills by watching other leaders, and giving me the chance to re-engage with a core belief – to help others! One of the most impactful aspects of Leadership Prince William was Emergenetics – which taught me to capitalize on others’ strengths to help them succeed and to lead others the way they want to be led. I am blessed for the opportunity to serve on the Board of Regents–an opportunity I do not take for granted–and for the opportunity to help forge the future of this great organization.”

– Douglas Shoop, Director of Operations and Maintenance, Prince William County Service Authority, Class of 2019
