Mayor to Participate in Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative

Mayor Levar M. Stoney has been invited to join mayors from large and midsize cities across the Americas and Europe to participate in the yearlong Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative.

Following the initial three-day program in New York, beginning next Monday, July 23, Harvard Business and Kennedy Schools faculty will collaborate virtually with the 40 participating mayors for two hours every six weeks. Collectively, Harvard University and Bloomberg Philanthropies will help mayors and their leadership teams manage the complexities of running a city, and to have opportunities to learn from one another.

“I am honored to be included in such a progressive initiative,” said Mayor Stoney. “This will be another opportunity for innovation and to learn best practices we can institute here in Richmond.”

Bloomberg Philanthropies is providing all the funding for participants, including all accommodations, meals and transportation. To learn more about the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative, please click here.
