Steven Mickens, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Lanier, is one of 60 senior leaders from the Boys & Girls Club Movement who have been selected to participate in a new yearlong leadership development program called the Leadership Summit. 

The program will begin in May and include a collaborative educational experience designed by Harvard Business School Executive Education and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

“I am honored to have been chosen,” Mickens said in a news release. “This is a rare opportunity to learn from an establishment with such a legacy of prestige and success, alongside other leaders with a shared mission, and to use what I have learned to deepen my impact locally and nationally.”

The program is designed for high-performing Boys & Girls Club organizations. Participants will undergo an intense experience designed to solve organizationwide challenges and to help each local organization reach its unique goals. After the session, the group will work together to implement strategies discussed.

The Harvard Business School component will take place on its campus in June 2017.
