Congratulations to Amanda Smedley, ServiceSource Director of Long Term Community Integration Services, on her graduation from the Leadership Fairfax, Inc. Institute (LFI)! The LFI program is designed for the most promising established leaders and professionals from the business, nonprofit, and government sectors throughout the Greater Northern Virginia Region.

Over the course of nine months, LFI participants engage in experiential learning, discussion groups, and site visits, meeting with leaders and experts, interacting with community decision-makers, and gaining the insights and tools needed to address complex regional challenges.

The Leadership Fairfax Institute develops visionary leaders and prepares them to make a meaningful impact in our community. We appreciate the effort it takes to complete the LFI program and couldn’t be prouder to have Amanda on our team!
