On June 1, Bolles leadership announced the eight Bolles faculty and staff members who were accepted into the 2023-24 Bolles Leadership Development Program during the end-of-year, post-planning meeting in McGehee Auditorium.

The purpose of the program, which is offered every other year, is to develop leaders at Bolles to strengthen our community, grow the candidate pool for potential internal leadership positions and provide relevant experience for employees who are considering school leadership at Bolles or other independent schools. 

Cohort members will participate in the SAIS Leadership Institute June 12-14, in Sarasota, Florida, and attend monthly meetings over the course of the 2023-24 school year, beginning in August and ending in May.
