This year, the Leaders of Tomorrow program, the youth division of the National Black MBA Association’s RDU Chapter, has once again exemplified excellence in nurturing future leaders. We proudly celebrated the accomplishments of our five high school graduates: Tori Walker, Makali “Kai” Waswa, Serah Judd, Jordan Coulter, and Anaya Tillman. Together, these outstanding students received over $18,000 in scholarships, furthering their educational journeys thanks to our generous donors. Thanks to the incredible leadership of LOT Director, Shirley "Shirl" Davis, MBA/MSL, our program this year involved 15 dedicated volunteers, 27 vibrant youths, supportive parents, and 14 knowledgeable presenters, all of whom contributed to a transformative year. As we look back on an impactful year, we are inspired by the potential and dedication of our young leaders and the community that supports them. Thanks to our sponsors: Dr. Veronica Hardy and Darrell Tennie of The Tennie Group. We appreciate all of you!
