“
My experience with LEAD continues to inspire me, and I suspect it will continue to do so for a long time to come. It’s also given me confidence – to consider myself a leader and to argue more strongly for things I believe to be right. And it has greatly broadened my horizons”
Thomas Dodd, European Commission, Cohort 13.
