Project LEAD

Project LEAD is a program developed by Debby Ballard of The Ballard Connection in partnership with the KC Chamber.

The goal is to increase diversity in leadership for businesses by broadening their pool of diverse candidates and tracking new hires and promotions. Eight organizations are currently in the program.

Project LEAD participating companies achieve their goals by:

  • Broadening the field of consideration
  • Establishing tracking and documentation norms
  • Measuring results monthly – report data quarterly
  • Adding transparency and accountability to historically vague processes
  • Knowledge sharing and best practices
  • Utilizing an extensive resource library
