	"I was raised in Frederick but I never really took the time to get to know how Frederick worked, and what resources were available to me as a business professional and as a citizen of Frederick. The Leadership Frederick program enhanced my personal and professional knowledge of the city and county of Frederick. I met many new people during our monthly sessions, both in my class and outside of my class. I continue to utilize the knowledge, resources, and personal contacts I gained in Leadership Frederick County countless times since 1994. I have since started my own consulting business, and I attribute a portion of my professional success to my outstanding Leadership Frederick County experience." Paul Frey, President. PLF, LLC
