BANK OF AMERICA AWARD

Br Ed Phelan, CEO of Highbridge Community Life Center, addresses the crowd
thanking the Bank of America for its support of the Agency.

On Thursday evening, November 3, the Bank of America Presented Highbridge Community Life Center (HCLC) with its Neighborhood Builders award.  The award is designed to strength the capacity and infrastructure of HCLC and to promote the professional development of its leaders. 
    HCLC will receive $200,000 in grant funding for operational support--$100,000 annually for two years. 
    Additionally, HCLC will be invited to send its senior executive and one of its emerging leaders to participate in a specially designed leadership development program.  Senior executives will gather for three 3-day workshops focusing on topics such as strategic thinking and business planning, leadership development and succession planning, leading high performing organizations and building a diverse funding base.  Emerging leaders will also gather for three 3-day workshops focusing on topics such as developing organizational management skills, managing strategic opportunities, forging alliances and building communities.
    The Neighborhood Excellence Initiative Awards Ceremony finished off the evening  with a private performance of the Big Apple Circus.  I'm not sure who had the most fun: children below the age of 16, or children above the age of 65.  It was a most delightful and rewarding evening for Highbridge folks. 
   Thank you Bank of America!
