This week, Manchester is proud to celebrate the graduation of three remarkable leaders who have completed the Leadership Greater Manchester (LGM) program, an initiative of the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. The Class of 2025 included professionals from across sectors who have demonstrated outstanding leadership potential and a deep commitment to the future of our community.

Among this year’s graduates were three dedicated leaders connected to Manchester’s public education and community engagement efforts:

⭐ Aimee Kereage, Executive Director

⭐ Charlene Kurtz, Assistant Principal at Smyth Road Elementary School

⭐ Kelly Espinola, Assistant Superintendent of Schools at Manchester School District

Leadership Greater Manchester is designed to recognize and develop existing leadership talents while fostering collaboration and civic engagement across a broad range of industries and institutions. The year-long program provides participants with in-depth insight into the issues and opportunities facing Greater Manchester, encouraging innovative thinking and community-driven solutions. 💡

The graduation of Aimee, Charlene, and Kelly marks a significant achievement, and we are thrilled to celebrate their commitment to growth, equity, and community impact. Their participation in this prestigious program reflects the values of partnership, service, and leadership that guide our work every day.

Congratulations to the entire Class of 2025! Manchester is a stronger, more connected city because of leaders like you.
