During the past school year, Leadership Greater Hartford trained and supported 250 parents, teachers, principals, and others in the art of working together to improve education for Hartford’s students.

Leadership Greater Hartford has been awarded the 2009 Tapestry Award from The Hartford Courant in recognition of our work connecting diverse constituencies and building bridges of understanding in the region.
