Sponsors are matched to participants wherever possible, to connect an individual to an organization. We believe the relationship and accountability to one another is a great partnership.

We offer 5 full-tuition scholarships (thanks to the generous support of the below sponsors):

• 3 military veteran participants
• 1 Women in NAACP (WIN) nominated participant
• 1 Millennial Leader participant

Additionally, we attempt to provide need-based scholarships in cases where tuition is a barrier to participating. 

Sponsors are welcomed (and vital) for our roundtable discussion sessions. We appreciate the community support in fostering dialogue. Session sponsorships are $1,000 and cover facility rental, food, and programs for the discussions.

We deeply appreciate the individual donors  who show their support through financial and in-kind donations. We find these donations most gratifying as it demonstrates a personal investment in community leadership. Please consider a donation of any size. Your dollars directly support an individual's leadership journey and their ability to positively impact their area of influence within our community.
