“Everything we accomplish in the city is a result of our partnership with community-based institutions and the people of our neighborhoods,” said Mayor Tom Menino. “They are the city's strength.”

“The city is blessed by extraordinary non-profit leaders who deserve the opportunity to reflect and regenerate for the work ahead. Increasingly, leadership for the city will come from ‘boundary crossers,' those who work across cultural, racial, sectoral, and generational boundaries. This class of Fellows joins two previous classes to form a network of 36 amazing individuals,” said Pat Brandes, Executive Director of the Barr Foundation.

Barr Fellows were selected based on their past contributions to the community, their potential to continue to contribute at a high level into the next decade, and their demonstrated capacity to learn from their peers locally and globally. Their organizations will receive financial support to promote organizational development and the mentoring of new leaders, as well as to ensure effective interim management during the executive's sabbatical.
