"Leroy's extensive leadership background and deep understanding of the core business will help Summit strengthen corporate partnerships, develop new strategic alliances with private and public organizations who are looking for solutions to the labor crisis, and expand our training programs to help even more people move from poverty to the middle class. Leroy is responsible for much of the success Summit has experienced in the last few years, and it's the right time for him to take the helm," King added.
Summit Academy OIC, one of 31 OIC of America affiliates located in 19 States, is one of the fastest-growing affiliates thanks to its expansion into IT and STEM.
"Minneapolis should hold its head up high," said West. "Summit's success is thanks to our amazing donors, corporate partners, government support, passionate staff, and, of course, our driven students who continue to show what happens when barriers are removed and people are given a fair shot at becoming productive members of society. I will proudly continue the legacy King started by promoting the fact that the best social service program in the world is a job."
