Last month, the McLendon Foundation announced the MLI. The coach-driven initiative will provide minorities a jump-start to their careers through practical experiences and opportunities to build their network while instilling in them the values of John McLendon: Integrity, Education, Leadership and Mentorship. Participants in the initiative will be known as MLI Future Leaders.
