CRi Announces Participation in The Black Executive Leadership Program

CRi & The Black Executive Leadership Program are delighted to announce the successful completion of its Spring 2023 cohort. Over the past three months, participants from various private sector organizations have actively engaged in McKinsey Academy’s Black Executive Leadership Academy, showcasing their unwavering dedication to personal and professional growth. CRi had four staff in attendance: Sheandar Peterkin, Bernice Meanchop, Bright Fleku, and Jeroline Fai.

CRi is proud of its team members and their dedication to their work and those they support. "We are thrilled to celebrate the accomplishments of our March 2023 cohort participants," said Justin Zakia, President & CEO of CRi. "Their enthusiasm and active participation have helped to make them stronger leaders, fostering an environment of growth and collaboration."

Throughout the program, participants took part in a series of engaging sessions, including workshops, peer board discussions, and plenary sessions. As part of the program's commitment to recognizing participants' achievements, eligible individuals will receive digital badges in collaboration with Credly, a leading digital credential platform.

To qualify for these prestigious digital badges, participants had to meet three specific requirements:

1. Attend either the Kickoff Plenary or the Closing Celebration Plenary
2. Participate in two out of the three workshops
3. Engage in two out of the three peer board discussions.

This rigorous criterion was designed to highlight the dedication and active involvement of each participant. The digital badges administered through Credly will be received by eligible participants via email in the coming weeks. This achievement can be shared proudly on professional platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter, allowing participants to showcase their commitment to leadership development within the Black community.

CRi extends its gratitude to all participating individuals for their support and contribution to the success of this cohort. CRi and The Black Executive Leadership Program remain dually dedicated to empowering Black professionals and fostering their leadership skills.
