The energy of MLT20 doesn’t have to end with the conference 💙

Over two unforgettable days in New York City, thousands of Fellows, Alumni, coaches, partners, sponsors, and supporters came together around a shared challenge: How will you lead the way?

Until now, that invitation was reserved for those in the room.

Today, we’re opening it to our entire community.

Whether you want to share your:

💙 Treasure
📣 Testimonials

there is a place for you to help shape MLT’s next chapter.

We want to give everyone the opportunity to join the momentum that began at MLT20 and help build what comes next. Because the next 20 years of impact won’t be created by a conference— they’ll be created by the people who choose to take action after it.

Congratulations to those selected for the Program 🏀✨

Last week, Fellows gathered at the NBA offices in New York City for kickoff as they prepare to begin an incredible summer experience across NBA teams and the league office.

Out of more than 10,000 applicants, just 70 students were selected for this year’s cohort.

Throughout the fellowship, participants will gain hands-on experience across departments including marketing, corporate partnerships, legal, social responsibility, ticket sales, and more — building skills, expanding networks, and exploring pathways to leadership in sports and business.

We are proud to see these talented Fellows represent the future of leadership.

Join us in congratulating the 2026 NBA HBCU Fellows! 👏🏾💙

Celebrating Pride Month 🌈

MLT recognizes the contributions and impact of LGBTQ+ communities and leaders who continue to help strengthen workplaces and create opportunities for others.

🌀 This month and every month, we celebrate the power of authenticity, belonging, and leadership.

Happy Pride!

Here’s to the next era of impact.

At MLT20, we celebrated two decades of impact, but the conference also gave us a chance to reflect on what it takes to build an institution that lasts 💫

For 20 years, MLT has expanded opportunity, accelerated careers, and helped thousands of leaders unlock their potential. That impact exists because of a community of Fellows, Alumni, partners, sponsors, philanthropists, coaches, and staff who have continued to invest in the mission year after year.

It also exists because of leadership willing to carry the vision forward long before success was guaranteed.

As we look toward MLT’s next chapter, the question isn’t simply how far we’ve come. It’s how we continue building on this foundation for the leaders who will follow 💙
