Developing Leadership Talent for Our Future

The Council represents Jewish organizations and congregations in the Baltimore area on social, political and humanitarian issues. The Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a one-year commitment, with monthly, hands-on programs, typically held on weekday evenings. Jewish individuals of different backgrounds, ages and interests are encouraged to apply. Participants meet with government officials and community leaders who address local, national and international issues, in order to develop an understanding of all aspects of Jewish community relations and public affairs, along with key leadership skills.

We are currently recruiting the Class of 2013-2014. The application deadline is August 1, 2013.

For more information about LDP, or to express interest in next year’s class, please call the BJC (410.542.4850).
