driving economic growth and building a more

their professional experience as they advance to
executive positions.

leadership development programs at Harvard
Business School and Suffolk University Business
School, that ensure each participant will gain:
-
A lasting network of
professional peers;
-
Connections with
prominent executives in the business and
civic community;
-
Opportunities to become
more informed about public policy issues
that impact local businesses; and

advance to executive positions.
After completing the one-year program, Boston’s
