EDABC Leadership Academy
Cultivating the Future of Equitable Economic Leadership

Leadership Development is Economic Development
At EDABC, we know that economic growth isn't just about policy or capital—it's about people. The Leadership Academy is designed to invest in mid to executive-level Black leaders, equipping them to lead across corporate, civic, and policy arenas with purpose, power, and a commitment to equity.
Launching soon, the Academy will anchor a new model of economic leadership—one that centers Black excellence, community accountability, and cross-sector influence.
The Problem: A Leadership Pipeline Gap in Colorado
Colorado’s current leadership pipeline leaves too much Black talent untapped and unsupported. We’re closing the gap.
-
Black executives remain underrepresented in key decision-making roles
-
Civic and policy spaces often lack pathways for experienced Black professionals
-
Inclusive leadership is essential to sustainable, competitive regional growth
