PRO Leadership in partnership with Montgomery Sister Cities arranged a one day interactive and dynamic certificate leadership workshop on Saturday, Sep 21, 2019, at Montgomery College Takoma Park campus Commons Building Room 211 as part of implementing Bridging the Leadership Gaps in Africa. The Initiative aims at raising 1 million New Breed Leaders of Africa who shoulder the responsibilities to transform Africa once and for all in one generation. The Initiative was launched here in the US on May 29 2019. Click here to read the report of the launching.

The Initiative was also launched on the soil of Africa. In partnership with Addis Ababa University (AAU), the Initiative was launched on July 17 2019 at AAU. Click here to read the report…

We have also begun implementing the Initiative both in the US among the African diaspora and in Africa starting from Ethiopia. Below are some links to learn more:

• The 1st New Breed Leaders of Africa program in the diaspora (Cohort D1)
• The 1st New Breed Leaders of Africa program in Addis (Cohort A1)
• The 1st TOT in Addis

Graduates of the Montgomery College Workshop will be the second Cohort (D2). By the way, on top of this foundational program, we have designed other intermediary and advanced leadership programs designed to continue to empower those leaders who determined to commit themselves for their leadership growth. Here are some of the requirements to join this first program on September 21st, 2019. Someone who:
