AUGUSTA – Rep. Laurie Osher, D-Orono, has been selected to participate in the Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at the Harvard Kennedy School from July 7–25, 2025.
The program, held on the Harvard Kennedy School campus in Cambridge, Mass., brings together over 70 leaders from across the United States and around the world for three weeks of intensive learning, leadership development and peer exchange. Participants represent a diverse mix of lawmakers, mayors, city managers, state agency directors, county commissioners, law enforcement officials and other senior leaders in public service.
"I’m honored to engage with community leaders from all across the globe as part of the Harvard Kennedy School’s 2025 program," said Osher. "I look forward to learning from Harvard faculty and from the experiences of fellow participants as we work together to strengthen our leadership skills. It will allow me to provide the best representation I can to my community in Orono and everyone in the state of Maine."
Led by renowned faculty from the Harvard Kennedy School, the program focuses on real-world problem solving, crisis management, negotiation and leadership in times of change. It offers a unique opportunity for senior officials to step away from day-to-day responsibilities and reflect, learn and return to their organizations with renewed insight and energy.
Osher is serving her third term in the Maine House. She is a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee and previously served on the Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee.
