The Blackshires Leadership Academy Accelerator Program has partnered with the city for the past two years, the value of this program was evident. The city was able to engage directly with the cohorts of black leaders through sharing resources, networking and ensuring that our tables accurately reflect the population of the city. The partnerships that Blackshires has created with this program are unique and progressive. The program demonstrates the need and the importance of this work.
