Executive Director of Upper Albany Main Street, Marilyn Larsen Risi graduates from the Executive Management Institute on Tuesday June 5, 2013.

The Executive Management Institute is a 10-month program in which executive directors from Hartford-area nonprofits come together to learn about nonprofit management and governance.  Participants learn from knowledgeable presenters in a variety of fields, and have the opportunity to develop a network of peers with whom to learn and share ideas.

Upper Albany Main Street was awarded a grant from Bank of America’s Charitable Foundation and we would like to thank Bank of America for their support.  As we look to provide our community with important educational and workforce development initiatives, Bank of America’s investment in our organization will enable us to continue performing our vital work.
