Calling all Leadership Washington County alumni!

No matter when you completed the Signature Leadership Program, you're an important part of the LWC community, and we'd love to hear from you.

As we begin planning new alumni programs, events, and opportunities to reconnect, we're asking our graduates to complete a brief Alumni Survey.

Your feedback will help us better understand how you'd like to stay engaged, what types of experiences are most valuable, and how we can continue to strengthen our alumni network.

The relationships built through LWC don't end at graduation. We're excited about creating new ways for alumni to connect, learn from one another, and continue making an impact throughout our community.

If you're an LWC alumnus, please take a few minutes to complete the survey. Your voice will help shape what's next.

Thank you for being a valued part of the LWC family. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon!
