About Management Leadership For Tomorrow (MLT)
At Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), our purpose is clear: we aim to advance racial equity by elevating economic and career paths for People of Color. Established in 2002, MLT is a national nonprofit committed to closing racial wealth gaps. We believe individuals of Black, Latine, and Native American (BLNA) descent should not only survive, but thrive. Spanning from college to senior-level positions, including C-suite and boards of directors, our comprehensive programs for BLNA talent have impacted over 10,000 people.
Today, we partner with over 200 notable organizations across a variety of fields including tech, finance, and education. With over two decades of experience in developing and implementing racial equity strategies, MLT provides organizations with a winning DEI playbook, strategies, and tactics.
